The original dial was vandalised and its pedestal broken. The pedestal was repaired and a new dial fitted as a Millenium project.

The dial was made by Abraham of Bath and shows hours from IIII toVIII, subdivided into halves quarters and, on an outer scale, into five minutes intervals.It has an 8 point compass rose.

The dial is shaded by trees for much of the day.
