The dial is In the garden to the north-west of the house. It is a modern pressed or cast dial with a compass rose outside a sunface, and shows 4am to 8pm in 30 and 15 minute marks. Hour lines pass through the numerals. The motto reads: ’Let others tell of storms and showers I’ll only count your sunny hours’. False date of 1767. A paper label on the back says ’Manufactured in England by Bel’.
