The Lodge has three separate dials (see also SRN 3059 and 7075), one on each face of the building; this one faces about SE. There are some visible hour lines and indications of incised borders. The sheet metal ’dog-leg’ gnomon has an upper edge perpendicular to the dial plate, with a fine patterned shape. The motto above reads ’RESPICITE’. The rest of the text is above the N and the SW dials, ’NON MIHI’, ’SOLI LABORAVI’ (Mark ye, not for myself alone have I toiled’. Ref Gatty 1900 motto 1092, which has a very full entry.
