Hanbury Hall [NT], Hanbury

In front of the orangery is a brass horizontal dial showing the hours IIII-VIII divided into halves, quarters and intervals of 5 minutes. There is an 8-point compass rose labelled N, NE etc. The date 1721 is spurious and the dial is a modern replacement for an earlier one at this site. It stands on an ornate baluster pedestal with spiral grooves and acanthus leaf decoration on the capital.
