The dial is mounted on a square white stone slab with rounded edge moulding, set on a curtain wall overlooking a grassed area. It shows 4am to 8pm in Roman numerals, read from outside the chapter ring, and divided to 30, 15 and 7 1/2 minutes. In the centre is a smiling sun face in an eight pointed star. Four hole fixing.
