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 at the top of some steps.
The date was estimated by the Inner Temple archivist. The gnomon is pierced with the initials of the Treasurer of the Inner Temple in 1707, Robert Payne. The dial shows IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from inside the dial, with a noon gap, and divided to 30, 15, 7,5 and (in Arabic) 10, 5 and 1 min marks. The half hour markers are fleurs de lys. There is an EoT table (from Tompion 1683).
The dial was restored by Thomas Wright and also later by Newton & Co. It was raised to accommodate the raised garden level in 1738 at a cost of £4-10-0d. It was repainted and gilded in 1743 at a cost of £90-0-0d.
