Dial in Hampshire

The dial stands on an octagonal stone table supported by four conjoined circular section shafts, 14m south from the main entrance. A dedication around the table says ’This sundial was given by Mrs Guitton of Little Park Wickham in memory of her husband John Guitton in 1858’. The dial plate shows hours IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from the outside, and divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes. The central section is badly scarred following the removal of the original gnomon and no detail can be seen at least in the photographs. In the chapter ring at the south, read from the north, is ’Osmond, Sarum’. The grey replacement gnomon contains a ring with a single radius, and above it a smaller disc with 16 radial slots and a central hole.
