Dial in Yorkshire (ER)

This is a double dial, a normal horizontal with an analemmatic dial on the same plate. There is a compass rose to the north of the root of the polar gnomon. Some hour numerals are visible (ie V XII III IV V VII VIII), with hour lines for 6am to 8pm, divided to 10 min intervals. There is some script at the centre of the plate, and crests on the east and west sides. There is an analemmatic ellipse with guides for a movable vertical gnomon, but this is missing. ’CLD’ is inscribed near the mounting screw on the south-east of the plate. The dial may have been installed in its present position around 2000 when neighbouring mosaics were laid.
