Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

The dial is above a window in the gable of the south end wall of the building, with an arched pediment above and small shelf support below. At the head of the window beneath is a keystone engraved ’JTDH / 1907’, possibly referring to the date of the dial and one of the Hutton family. The dial is very worn but had a motto at the top starting ’Tem …’, probably ’Tempus Fugit’. There is a small crescent moon at the left. The numerals are Roman, upright but slanted to align with the hour lines, and are for 8am to 5pm with ’+’ for noon and IV for 4pm. The iron bar gnomon has a crossed support reminiscent of compasses.
