In the small courtyard of this National Trust property is a bronze horizontal dial 457mm in diameter which shows the hours IIII - VIII divided into halves, quarters and periods of 10 and 5 minutes. The 10 minute periods are marked by Arabic numerals. There is a noon gap. The gnomon has a line running down the middle of the style suggesting that it has been made in two halves. There is an equation of Time scale and a 16-point compass rose. The Dashwood family crest appears with its motto ’Pro Magna Charta’.The dial is set on a square section stone pedestal with a broken square capital surmounted by a circular cap.
