Forthampton Court (2), Forthampton

An unusual garden centre type dial on a rough limestone pedestal with a substantial square mount stone, some 400mm high, by the west wall of the house. Delineation is in relief and consists of a circular chapter ring with aligned numerals read from outside, IV - XII - IV - VIII, with hour lines but no discernible divisions. The gnomon has an intentionally curved style and is pierced with a circular hole.
