Dial in Lincolnshire
The dial is on the left of the path from the gate. The square dialplate has 45 degree corners (the south-east corner being broken). It shows 4am to 8pm in half and quarter hours, using XII and IIII. It has a split noon though the gnomon is a thin sheet with a 2-cycle wavy vertical north edge. Concentric circles at the gnomon root provide decoration. There are three time related rings: The outer shows half and quarters, next is the chapter ring with rather ’squat’ numerals and the inner marks hour lines. The dial is mounted on a slim part fluted, part carved wooden pedestal 1400h covered in moss and mounted in an octagonal stone plinth.
