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.
Today this dial is in shade for much of the day and the south porch on which it is mounted is down in a hollow which doesn’t help the sun to reach it. When Mrs Crowley drew it in 1959 she was able to show more details than are visible today. At the top of the ellipse is a sun with alternating straight and wavy rays and the undivided hours from 6am to 6pm are shown in Arabic numerals. Held to wall by four cleats. Reported ’slow’. It was probably installed in the mid 19th century and measures 300mmw x 460mmh.
