Greywalls is now a private hotel. It was built in 1900, designed by Lutyens, though the dial was not added until later. A photo in Weaver ’Houses and Gardens by E L Lutyens’, 1913, shows the blank niche still awaiting the dial. The dial plate is mounted in a shaped stone frame in the gable at the centre of the south aspect of the house. Upright Arabic numerals 5 - noon (unmarked) - 4, with hour lines to a very small semicircle around the gnomon root, and short half hour and quarter hour marks. Across the top is ’LAT 56 2 N LONG 11m 20s W’. Note the longitude given in clock minutes. The dial is annually overgrown by a climbing hydrangea, and the marks where it has been cleared away this year can be seen in the photo.
