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.

Lacock Abbey [NT] (1), Lacock

Badly cracked (but repaired with lead and a spurious piece of glass with Roman numeral on it) and without gnomon but otherwise sound and with gnomon mounting holes. Shows 2pm to 8pm in half hours [Roman and Arabic numerals]. 4pm shown as IIII. ’Fly’ motif part painted on both sides. Mounted in an east facing window. Believed by NT to have been installed rather as one of a ’job lot’ of stained glass by Fox Talbot when other stained glass shields were added to the windows of the first floor. This dial is usually behind a roped off area of the long (rocking horse) gallery overlooking the inner courtyard.
