Summary:
Stone pillar sundial. At the top is a heraldic pelican standing on a globe which rests on a pyramid with four dials. Beneath a cornice there is a cubical stone block with the coat of arms of Corpus Christi College's founder, of its chief benefactor, of the Tudors, and of Oxford University. Each piece of heraldry contains another sundial. A cylindrical shaft is below the stone block; the shaft has a sundial on its south side. The 20-foot column rests on a base of five octagonal steps, the top one of which is raised to form a seat. On the side of the top step is the coat of arms of Princeton University.
