At the top ’Charles Greenwood / San 1790 / Non Redibo’ (I shall not return). Below ’Restored 1968 / by FRANK J WEBSTER’.Upright Roman numerals VIII - XII - IIII - VII. Short hour lines. Half and quarter hours marked. Square cross section gnomon with ’S’ support, and a cross-piece nodus on the style. Three wiggly lines in the approximate position of declination lines. The Summer solstice line may be correct but the equinox and Winter solstice are not and may have been lost in the restoration. The lines also bear squiggles which are probably based on original Zodiac signs. Ref Mrs Gatty.
