Mass Dials
1910 New Catholic Dictionary
Scratched or incised dials found on the walls of many old churches in England and Normanay, having only a few lines and no figures. They are said to have been used mainly to tell the time of Mass because of the clearly marked line indicating Terce, or 9 a.m., the hour of the principal Mass.
