Dial in Devon

The dial is on the east end of the south wall of the house, at first floor level. Hours are marked with radial numerals from VIII to V, with XI and I replaced by dot markers for more comfortable spacing. Inscriptions include initials A, S, M, the date 2015, and the image of a wren. The owners’ first house was called Farthings and they chose to have the wren from the farthing coin carved on the dial as a memento.
