All Saints Church, North Moreton

Rectangular vertical dial on a tower buttress. The dial declines strongly to the west of south. It has deeply inscribed Roman hour numerals from 8am to 7pm, mostly aligned with the hour lines. The IX is upright and larger - may have been cut later. There is a cross patty for noon, IIII for 4pm. The full length hour lines are less deeply engraved but clearly visible. The gnomon is missing, but a diagonal incision across the dial face at around the 2:20 point is probably the substyle location. The dial is on the SW face of the SW diagonal buttress to the tower, just below the top run-off of stonework of the buttress.
