Church of the Immaculate Conception, Lissummon

Mottos read: "Memento Mori", "Years following years steal something every day. At last they steal us from ourselves away" and "This plainly shews to foolish man that his short life is but a span". An inscription reads: "The Reverend Bernard Loughrim PP Lower Killeavy Anno Domini 1826 Latitude 54d 12mN". The dial shows 4am to 8pm in 30, 15 and 5 min marks, and uses XII and IIII, with a split noon. Hour lines are marked by an additional ’X’, and half hours by two ’X’s. The numerals are read from outside the dial. There is décor in the lower spandrel. This dial is similar to another by the same maker at Mullahglass, SRN 5866.
