Gypsy House, Great Missenden

In the sundial garden of this house once occupied by Roald Dahl is a brass horizontal dial 279mm in diameter. It shows the hours IIII - VIII divided into halves, quarters and eighths. The hour lines originate from a sun face round the gnomon root. The motto reads ’Sunny Hours.’ The dial stands on an octagonal section baluster plinth.
