Dial in Norfolk

The dial is inscribed by the gnomon toe ’Given by Henry Partridge Esq. of Buckenham House. 1713. Lat. 52 35. Tho: Walpoole fecit’. The hour numerals are IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from inside, with a noon gap and divided to 30, 15, 10 and 7.5 minutes. There is an eight-point compass rose at the centre, with cardinal points labelled. The gnomon has an ornate scrolled support. The dial stands on a circular section baluster style plinth enclosed by a gated set of circular railings.
