This large new dial with a break-arch top is mounted on the stuccoed wall of the house, and supported by a bracket below. It appears to be made of woood, painted slate grey with gold inscriptions. There are coloured sunbursts above the start and finish of the chapter ring, and a larger one around the gnomon root. Below the gnomon is ’GMT - 12 Minutes’. Across the lower section of the dial plate is ’Time waits for no man’. Upright Roman numerals VI - XII - IV - VI, with chequered time divisions to quarter hours.
