All Saints’ Church, Hillesden

Quarter-spherical dial carved into the westernmost buttress on the south side of the nave. There is no gnomon but notches above and below the dial show where it once was. Inside, Arabic numerals, hour and half hour lines from 6am to 6pm are easily seen. The motto: "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" is inscribed around the semicircle. Across the top is "1601 Georg De Fraisne" (the ’S’ being backwards-written). Note: Dial SRN 5017 is also on this church.
