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.
This is a diptych dial, designed to face SE and SW, found in a farm building at nearby Netherscales. It was retrieved about 1980 and moved to its present position in the Walled Garden, where it is inset in the brickwork beneath a ball finial and above a doorway.
SE: Hours 4am to 2pm, using IIII and XII, with half-hour lines with trefoil punch-marks, and quarter hour marks. The date ’1734’ is across the foot. A vestigial ferrous gnomon remains.
SW: Hours 11am to 4pm, not so closely observed but probably divided similarly; the gnomon is missing.
