This vertical dial of painted wood declines 13° west and shows the hours VIII to VI divided into halves and quarters in a scrolled chapter ring. The scale actually extends from 7-15am to 6pm. The colouring of the dial is generally rather pale with white, grey and yellow elements,though the frame is painted black.The purpose of he straight lines crossing th dial is not clear and there is no nodus on the gnomon to suggest that they may be declination lines. A separate scroll winding its way across the upper part of the dial has the fading motto ’Horas non numero nisi serenas’ (I only tell the sunny hours).
