This is one of a pair of dials (with SRN 3577) on the southern corner of the building, and declines south 30.4 deg east. It uses upright Roman numerals VI - XII - IIII - V 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: "The Sunny Hours", and is shared with SRN 3577. Article to be published in BSS Bulletin.
