The dial was designed to be held indoors but has now been painted with a weatherproof coating and is located in the dementia-friendly garden of the museum. It is inscribed ’RATAE’, the Roman name of Leicester.
It was designed by Allan Mills and sculpted from Clipsham oolitic limestone by Rattee & Kett of Cambridge.
