Dial in Northamptonshire
The dial is high in a south-west gable end. It is a Great Decliner laid out as a quadrant. It has a double stone dialplate (the lower stone cracked) with incised and black painted lines and numerals. The origin of the gnomon is not on the dial. The gnomon appears to have only one supporter and is twisted clockwise and is not currently in line with the hour lines. The dial shows 1am to 9pm in Arabic numerals, with no noon mark. The numerals 7-9 are rather faint. See also SRN4921, another vertical on this building, which dates from 1660.
