The dial is inscribed ’MADE BY THOMAS McCREASH ANNO DOMINI 1821’, with the owner’s name, the date and the latitude. It has a fully qualified 16 point compass rose at its centre. It shows the time from 4a.m. to 8p.m. in Roman Numerals, using IIII for four. Inside the Chapter Ring there is a fractional time ring with 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute and 60 minute divisions. It has a solid bronze gnomon. The dial is decorated in the four corners with leaf designs inside a quadrant; the north-east corner is broken.
