All Saints Church, Paston

The dial is on the front apex of the roof above the south porch. The dial plate is set upon a stone block bearing the date 1756. It is supported from behind with a curved iron strut. The plate is surrounded by carved and scrolled stonework with volutes at the corners, and is slightly canted back on the right (east) side. The Roman numerals are upright and run from 6am to 6pm with noon shown as a cross ( + ) and 4pm as IIII. No hour lines or divisions are visible. The gnomon is a tapered iron rod with a single straight horizontal support.
