| Description: |
- The classic brass horizontal sundial is 10-1/2 inches in diameter with a large chapter ring of Roman hours marked from VI to VI. Noon is marked by "O". However, the hour and minute lines that extend inward and run in quarter hours from 4am to 8pm. At the south end of the dial is the traditional hour glass with wings. The gnomon is also classic with a bird supporting the style. The dial sits on a granite cap 7 inches thick held by a decorated and fluted column 22-1/2 inches tall. This in turn sits on a two-tier dais 14 inches high with the top tier inscribed "VAUGHAN" for the family plot.
