Gardens only open under Nat Gdns Scheme. Dial has one main dial (Roman Nos) and four smaller ones (Arabic Nos). Smaller dials show times in New York, Mexico(?), New Zealand and ANO. Only the main gnomon survives. Main dial shows 5,15 & 30 marks for 4am to 8pm. Inscribed ’... the dial is 10 min’ts slower than Greenwich for Railway Mean Time’. The dial is not compatible with its plinth, and is believed to have been relocated here. It was designed for Lat N5150, and the 10 min difference indicates 2.5 deg W, suggesting an original location in the Gloucester/Ross-on-Wye area.
