A slate vertical dial declining 19° east can be seen on the farmhouse. It shows the hours VI -V divided into halves, quarters and 5 minute periods. Noon is indicated by a cross and local noon by a gilded diamond marker. The iron gnomon is painted red and has an S-shaped support. It has a motto ’Ut hirudo sic hora’ (Like the swallow so the hour (passes). The dial was made by Andrew James and dates from 2004.
