This three-faced cube dial is on the south-west corner of the church, supported by a grotesque figure carved in red sandstone, holding an hour-glass and a sundial. The left hand face is partly missing. The two remaining gnomons are replacements but are only just surviving. It is inscribed "Mr JC 1731" on the central face which has Arabic numerals from 10am to 8pm. It has an unusual noon mark, possibly a fleur-de-lys.
