Dial in Lincolnshire

The dial is mounted on a rear brick wall of the house at first floor level, strongly canted out on the right, on iron hooks, to face south. In the peaked top of the dial plate is the date 1819 and the name ’SAMUEL SANDARS’, the original owner. In a semicircle around the gnomon root is "Lat 53° 20’ ", and in the perimeter ’STUBBINS LINCOLN’. Upright hour numerals are used, VI - XII - IIII - VI, divided to half and quarter hours with a gnomon gap. Seven declination lines are shown, labelled with the zodiac symbols, and there are ten sun azimuth lines labelled from SEBE to SWBW. The bar gnomon is of grey or painted metal with a double hook support and a horizontal double point nodus.
