St Joseph’s Nursing Home, Danbury

The dial stands on an octagonal downward tapering plinth on a square base, with an ornamental circular waisted top. It is heavily patinated but the furniture can still be seen. It has Roman hour numerals read from the outside, for 4am to 8pm with a noon gap and divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes. There is an eight-point compass rose at the centre, surrounded by a double-toothed ring.
