On the lawn to the left of the house is a bronze equatorial dial by Silas Higgon, a contemporary maker, which was put here in 2000. It is in the form of a 7-ring armillary sphere with the tropic rings unusually set parallel to the equator. Small Roman numerals show the hours V-VII. It is mounted on a cylindrical stone pedestal.
