Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

Circular vertical dial with nautical theme on the south-east facing gable end of a house.
The engraved slate dial shows 5:30am to 5pm in quarter hours with alternating red and gold segments but has gilded vertical Roman numerals from 6am to 4pm only. The red hour lines terminate on a circle round the gnomon foot that encloses a gilded anchor motif.
The cylindrical gilded rod gnomon with rounded end has a single supporter. There is no noon gap - the centre of the gnomon’s shadow indicates the time.
The motto around the top reads: "Time & Tide Wait for No Man".
There is an Equation of Time graph on a plaque below, but it may not be visible from the road.
The dial was made by Harriet James in 2003.
