The dial is on the lawn terrace. It is a fine modern memorial dial with a very good gnomon. The motto is: "He saw one life and felt that it was good", and an inscription reads: "Alan Kinsbury Principal of Burton Manor College 1972-1987". The dial has two time scales, for BST & GMT but only LAT is shown. It shows 5am to 7pm in 30 and 5 min interval, using XII & IV, the numerals being read from inside the chapter ring. There is a 16-point compass rose to the south of the elaborate pierced gnomon, which looks forged from strip. The dial is mounted on a reconstituted stone baluster pedestal with a square capital and plinth.
