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

Dial in Shropshire

The dial is unusually supported on a stone corbel which protrudes like a shelf from the 13th century wall. The thin pierced metal gnomon is bent and has some damage. Understandably there is no split noon. The marked latitude is 52 43. The dial shows 4am to 8pm in quarter and half hours, with half hours marked by inward arrows. XII is used for noon and IIII for 4am and 4pm. The hour lines extend to an inner double circle. The date may not be correct but is consistent with that of the refurbishment of pews in church.
