BRIDOL is the British Sundial Society's Register of Fixed and Mass Dials, which gives detail and photographs of about 8000 fixed sundials and 3000 mass dials in the UK.
Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.
The dial is located on the south lawn. It is in the form of a dodecahedron with two rows of five pentagonal faces, the top row reclining, the bottom row inclining. All lines and numerals are visible, and all gnomons are intact and 4mm thick. The dial overall shows 4am to 8pm in whole hours. The numerals are Arabic, and are in relief as is light scroll work on some faces. The dial is mounted on a stone pedestal 1760 mm high and is surmounted by a (weathered) lion rampant, 460 mm tall. It is said to have come from Scotland about 1910.
(SRN 8046 at East Ruston, Norfolk, appears to be a direct copy of this dial, and there is another at Westbury in New York, USA, see NASS 5, just missing the lion’s shield.)
