This is situated to the left side of the inner entrance door of the south porch and although it has the looks of a scratch dial, opinion has been expressed that it may not be the same as other Somerset scratch dials. These were used to inform the clergy when it was time for Mass and not the time of day, and in any event it could only have been used when the sun shone it so the one thing it does tell us, is that it must have been there at the time of the 14th re-build, and that the porch was  added after this date as the dial would be not effective being out of sight of the sun.
