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.
Mounted on preaching cross. Royal Commission on Hist Monuments, N Northants, HMSO 1986. Photos in mid 1990s showing 4am to 8pm with (in order moving out from the chapter ring) 30, 15 and 5 min marks, half hours marked by single lines with inward ended dot. Uses XII and IIII. Roman numerals read from inside the chapter ring. Circular scales on square plate with four hole fixing. Solid gnomon with sigmoidal back edge and two triangular section supporters. Wear makes upper edge of gnomon look ’waisted’. Signature at South end, Lat & Date in gap in chapter ring - both to be read from inside. Cylindrical sandstone pillar on 4 block square steps with circular capital having name R Morgan inscribed around it.
Dial now (May 2010) inscribed ’Damaged 1995 [or possibly 1993] Restored 2000 Remember Thomas Ore 1766’. New gnomon fitted with wrong angle of 37 deg (ie Latitude complement) and reminiscent but not identical shape of vertical side. New dial has IV - XII - IV - VIII from inside, in quarter hours.
