St Peter’s Church, Hook Norton

Rectangular vertical dial on a ledge overlooking the road. The dial has white-infilled lines and numerals on a slightly arched Cotswold stone. It is canted so as to face due south. There are full length hour lines and half (and quarter?) hour marks in a chapter ring. The Arabic hour numerals are largely upright with a hint of alignment with the hour lines. 2pm has ’II’ which seems to be a mistake. The date in the arch reads: ’MDCCXCVIII’ (1798). The bar gnomon with a single straight supporter.
