Chumleigh Gardens, Southwark

The dial is set on the circular capital (440 mm diameter) of a fluted circular-sectioned stone pedestal 1050 mm high. It has a 16-point compass rose at the centre, labelled to N, S, E, W, and an EoT graph (curved to the circumference) at the south. Numerals are V - XII - IIII - VII, read from the inside and divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes, with a noon gap. The gnomon is missing but was aligned with the mid-point of the flats. Inscription: ’SILAS HIGGON / fecit / LAT 51.5° ’.
