The dial is laid out in the playing fields opposite the Junior School. It is a very attractive analemmatic dial with many small mosaics of birds, leaves and local features, and is worth detailed study. It reads BST with Roman numerals for the even hours VIII, X, XII, II, IV, VI, and leaf designs for the odd hours.
