St John of Beverley’s Church (2), Driffield

The dial is at head height on the south side of an east-facing return in the wall beyond the second window to the right of the south porch. It may be by the same hand as SRN 8277, on the tower, but it is more accurately scribed. It has hour lines for 4am to noon, with 6am to 9am in Arabic and 10am and 11am in Roman. The gnomon is missing but there is a mounting hole on the 6am line. The dial is surrounded by a square with a smaller square at each corner. The lower left square has a figure ’6’ which may be for 6am. The top right square has a figure ’7’ but it is not correctly aligned for 7am. The lower right section of the dial may be a repair scribed in mortar. The ’XI’ for 11am does not appear to have been accurately cut. On the south facing wall inside the porch is a similar square outline (see the third photo).
