Allington Millennium Green, Maidstone

This simple but good two-half-ring armillary sphere stands on a a rough ragstone block in the centre of the sunken central area of the Green. The hour ring shows 6am to 6pm with Roman numerals using XII and IIII. An hour line is marked for 9am and 3pm only, and noon has an arrow; there are no subdivisions. The stainless steel rod gnomon has a small black ball nodus and is terminated at either end with a similar ball. The dial is not quite accurately oriented, showing 1:50pm when photographed at 12:35pm on March 11 (EOT minus 10 minutes).
