This is one of a pair of dials (with SRN 3578) on the southern corner of the building, and declines south 58.8 deg west. It uses upright Roman numerals XI - XII - IIII - X for BST, hence 1 pm is the vertical. Hour lines to a blue filled semi-circle around the gnomon root, with no subdivisions. The numerals and lines are brass wire. The rod gnomon has one straight support. Above the gnomon root is a metal full flowering sun in grey or blue. The motto reads: "I count only", and is shared with SRN 3578. Article to be published in BSS Bulletin.
