SRN 6851 (Vertical, Westmill, Herts.)
An unusually good vertical dial for a domestic setting. It is mounted in the gable end of the house above a first floor window, visible from the village green of Westmill in Hertfordshire. The east side is canted out on a moulded shelf, and a small gable roof gives some protection from the elements. The rectangular dial plate has an upper pediment enclosing a winged hourglass. The dial itself is oval in shape with winged cherub heads in the four spandrels. Above the gnomon is 'DVM SPECTAS FVGIO', and the date MDCCXCIII.
