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

Primary School, Cold Aston

The dial is mounted on the stone wall of the school, supported by a substantial corbel, rounded across the length and at the ends. It appears to be carved from a single block of stone incorporating an arched hood and a smiling sun face. In the arch is inscribed ’ARISE AND SHINE’. It uses upright Arabic hour numerals for 6am to 6pm, with ’+’ for noon. Hour lines run to a small semicircle. More photos and better location details requested.
