This is one of two sundials at Aylesford Priory. This dial is located on the lawn adjacent to the residence. The motto around the outer circumference reads: ’Seize the present moment, the evening hour is nigh’. The hours are marked from 4am to 8pm in 30, 15 and 7.5 min intervals and there is an 8 point compass. It is mounted on a slender circular section ’turned’ stone pedestal with a combination wood and stone circular capital and a stepped, square stone plinth. This is a better quality mass produced dial but the gnomon is missing.
