Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

Circular horizontal memorial dial.
This appears to be a modern dial of no great interest, but competently made. It has a noon gap and 30, 15 and 5 minute divisions. The Roman numerals, aligned with the hour lines, are well designed. It is divided quite accurately for this latitude, although it looks mass-produced.
There is an 8-point compass rose at centre. The motto ’Amyddst ye fflowres I tell ye houres’ comes from a Victorian novel.
The gnomon, although quite sturdy, has been badly bent.
