The ADMIRATLY BOARD ROOM c.1808.
The WIND CLOCK or wind indicator, on the far wall, is connected to a weathervane on the roof.
On this old photograph, taken at a later date, it appears that the wind clock has been moved.
The word ‘vane’comes from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘fane’ which means ‘flag’. (Wiki)
