This is a replica of a former stolen dial, and stands in the sunken garden. It shows 3am to 9pm in hours, the numerals viewed from outside the chapter ring, using XII and IV, with 30, 15, 10, and 2 min marks. It is set on a white square stone capital slab. The original dial design latitude was high. This replica’s design latitude is not yet recorded.
