The dial is by the south-east corner of the building, just south of the Hampton Road entrance. An inscription on the flat bronze annulas facing north reads: ’Let there be one measure throughout our whole realm / Una mensura sit per totum regnum nostrum’ in the upper half and ’Magna Carta Una mensura sit per totum regnum nostrum / Of weights also let it be as of measures’ in the lower. At the east and west extremes ’M’ and ’M’ give the date. The half circular ocular shaped time ring has BST (Arabic) and GMT (Roman) numerals with smaller Arabic numerals for both. Shows 7am to 5pm (marked 6-6) in 30, 15 and 1 min marks. There is no split Noon line. Unusually the gnomon is of square section. The dial is set on a circular brick pedestal 820h with an EoT graph.
