The dial is painted on a stone set into the brickwork of the side wall of a building adjacent to the Society building, with a protective stone moulding above. Across the top the motto ’MOX NOX’ and a crescent moon (or ’C’). In the centre a shield with ’ S. / R. P. / 1702 / W. T. ’ The gnomon, cut from a single sheet incorporating a shaped support, springs from a full flaming sun. Upright numerals IV - XII - II are separated by decorative motifs. Hour lines and half hour lines, but they are somewhat at random, probably having drifted over many re-paintings.
