Dial in Dorset,

The dial uses hour numerals IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from the outside, and divided to 30, 15 and 7.5 minutes inside the chapter ring, and to 2 minutes outside, marked in Arabic at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. There is a 16-point compass rose, labelled to 8 points (NE etc). To the south of the gnomon is the widely used verse ’[Serene] I stand among the flowers / [I only] count life’s sunny hours / [for me dark] days do not exist / [I’m a brazen] faced old optimist’. There is a substantial iron gnomon with ’S’ support.
