Dial in Devon

A fine plain dial in an ornately carved frame. Solid plate gnomon with cut-out date ’1650’. Upright Arabic numerals 6 - 12 - 6 with full length hour lines and short subdivision ticks. Set in a recessed alcove above the original S door of the farmhouse, now the inner courtyard. Above the dial are carved the arms of the Wichelhalse family, into whose hands the manor came in 1559. More historical details held in the archive.
