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 on the south (rear) wall, above a window, and declines 24 deg east. The mottoes originally read: "Tempus edax rerum" (around the top of the dial circle) and "The Solar Shadow as it measures Life, it Life resembles too" (on a plaque at base). The gnomon is offset from the top of the circle. The dial is shaded by St Mary’s Church on the other side of the road. There is the figure of a man (?Time) in the centre of the dial. It shows 5am to 4pm with aligned Roman numerals (using XII and IIII) in 30,15, and possibly 10 and 5 mins. It was moved to its present position from its original site on the Grammar School in the High Street.
