Nuffield Place, Nuffield

The declination of this dial is about W 70° N and it shows the hours II - IX in upright numerals. The hours are divided into halves and quarters. There is a quadrant flaming sun in the right lower corner while at the upper right part of the dial plate are a crescent moon and stars. The gnomon and all the dial furniture is in gold on a blue background. The dial has a red border within a blue frame. In the summer the dial becomes shaded by the roof line. The house was designed in 1914 by Oswald Partridge Milne, a pupil of Edwin Lutyens, and the sundial is by MacDonald (Max) Gill, brother of the better known Eric Gill.
