Dial in Oxfordshire

Unusually, this is a Golden Wedding commemorative dial in a churchyard. The octagonal brass dial has an eight point compass rose in the centre, then, in successive rings, hour lines, Roman numerals and 30, 15 and 5 minute marks. The numerals are aligned with the hour lines and are read from inside or the opposite side of the dial. The substantial gnomon seems in very good condition. The dialplate is set into the top of an octagonal plinth. A small plaque on the plinth shaft reads "Presented by the servants and employees of the Estate to Mr and Mrs A W Hall on the occasion of their Golden Wedding. Aug 27th 1913".
