Bridol: British Dials Online

The BSS Register of Fixed and Mass Dials is a computer database in which we aim to capture all the dials of quality in the British Isles.  We now have a record of some 8,000 Fixed Dials. Some of these are in private homes, but a huge number (currently about 4,800) are publicly viewable. There are also about 3000 Mass Dials. The listing page shows all the dials by county and town.

If you are not sure of the difference, here is an explanation of what the terms 'Fixed and 'Mass' mean.

If you know of a sundial not in our database, please tell us about it with the online Dial Recording Forms.
