Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

There are two dials at Sawston Hall, and this first one lies within the lawned garden. Its gnomon has an unusual angle of 47 degrees. The cast metal dial bears zodiac pictures in a circle around the numerals, and is mounted on a bulbous stone pedestal. This may be a mass produced dial.
