The sundial is set on two stone corbels in the flint south face of the church tower. It shows 6am to 5pm in hours with Arabic numerals. The hour lines are formed from golden arrows with heads and flights pointing towards the gnomon root. Though it does not show in this photograph, the gnomon is designed to throw a similar arrow shadow with a supporter that derives from the initials of the donor, P Nicholson. The motto reads: "Aim higher than the mark."
