Sundial. Late C18 and restored in 1894. Sandstone ashlar. Gothick style. Square in plan with stepped base. The steps all have nosings and the number of steps varies on each side: only the east side has a full flight of 6 steps reaching the ground. Each face of the shaft has, above the plinth, a panel set between a pair of ogee mouldings and bearing an elongated quatrefoil. This is topped by the square base of the dial, which is concave in profile and also bears 8 quatrefoils, one on each of the cardinal faces and 4 around the corners. The bronze gnomon and dial, inscribed with Roman numerals and the text 'SIC UMBRA VERTIT, SIC VITA FUGIT', were removed and stored after being vandalised.
