Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

Magdalen College, Oxford

The dial is formed from metal lines and characters attached to the south facing stone wall of the Grove Auditorium. Upright hour numerals are VII - XII - VI, and hour and half-hour lines run each to their own unmarked circular arc around the gnomon root. The gnomon is a thin un-supported rod springing from a small disc on the wall. Above the dial is ’M M’ for both Mary Magdalen and the year 2000.
