Dial in Jersey

The dial is mounted on a square section stone pedestal with square capital, and sides decorated in relief. It came to Jersey from the south of England in the 1950s. The hour numerals V - XII - IIII - VII are read from outside the chapter ring and aligned with the hour lines. The hours are divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes and there is a noon gap. In the corners of the square dial plate are Masonic symbols, viz: NW ’shining eye’, NE ’Sun with rays’ SE square & compasses. The SW corner is illegible here, but on a very similar dial marked ’A DENT / LONDON FECIT’ it contains a level, maul and trowel. The gnomon is swaged to the dialplate but is now loose. It has a circle and arc supporter and is bent down at the tip.
