Dial in Wiltshire

The house is early 17th century and the dial may date from the same period or could be a later addition. It is surmounted by ironwork which may have held a weathervane or other decorative feature. It is positioned high on the peak of the S gable. The SE face declines 34 12 E of S. Upright Arabic numerals 7am to 2pm with Greek Cross for noon. Hour lines to semicircle aaround gnomon root. The SW face declines 73 48 W of S. Arabic numerals read largely from the outside of the chapter square, 9am to 7pm with probably also a G Cross for noon, and similar hour lines. Numerals show a flat-topped 8 and reversed 5 and 9. Both gnomons are missing.
