The sundial is made of stone and hangs on the south wall to the right of the south porch. Sadly it has several large cracks on the face. It is only being held together by the iron brackets which hold the sundial on to the wall. The sundial has the date 1727 carve into it. The inscription below the date is somewhat eroded and difficult to read, but makes some reference to time written in Latin.
