Dial in Hereford & Worcester

This dial is a memorial for local men who fell in WWII. It shows the hours V - VII (using IIII and XII) divided into halves, quarters and intervals of 5 minutes, read from inside the chapter ring. There is a 16-point compass star, labelled only to N, S, E W. At the south side of the dial plate is engraved ’Silas Higgon / fecit / Lat 51.5’. Below that is a curved EOT graph. The gnomon is missing.
