Dial in Jersey

Dial originated from Le Bel Royal - an adjoining property. Breakarch design with date in large open letters in the arch. Shield has letters JDSC. Traces of red on the surface - possible paint. Shows 7am to 6pm in half hours. Uses XII and IV. Numerals vertically aligned. Hour lines drawn to semicircle at gnomon root. Short inward lines mark half hours. Gnomon supported by shoe at edge of chapter ring though there is some doubt of its originality since it does not touch the dialplate at its root. . Dial probably designed by same person as those at Mont a L’Abbe Manor and Les Peupliers.
