St Edward the Confessor Church (1), Westcott Barton

Rectangular vertical south-facing dial over the porch. This dialstone is perched on the castellations over the porch, canted to the left in order to face due south. The stone is rectangular but with an arched top. It has a long crack and some damage around the edges but the deeply engraved dial is quite legible. The dial has full length hour lines from 6am to 6pm. There are no finer divisions. The vertical Roman hour numerals have XII at noon and IIII at 4pm. The gnomon is missing. References: The dial is mentioned in Mee’s ’Kings England’ series. It appears in a print of 1852. See also dial SRN 6847, just below this dial.
