The dial is fixed to a south facing wall, and hands underneath apparently support it. It shows 6am to 6pm in half hours and has a short gnomon. There is a gilded eight point sunburst and short half hour lines around it are also gilded.The inscription reads: "Cityman with time on his hands" (a pun on an e-mail address). Year is marked as ’MM’ on two lugs.
