St Peter’s Church, Knossington

The dial plate is set into the stonework above the entrance to the south porch. The gnomon is a wide flat blade, with a double arc cut out at the tip. The dial uses VI - XII - IIII - VI, with hour lines to an unmarked semicircle around the root of the gnomon, and divided to 30 and 15 minutes. There are no other inscriptions.
