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 stands on a cylindrical pillar on a small square base, about 6 ft high in all. It is a cubic block about 1 ft high with large bowl hollows NE, NW, SE and SW, with pin gnomons and a ball finial. A second cube half way up the pillar has N, S, E and W vertical dials and an extra face across the NW corner with the Drummond arms and the initials ’EIP’ for Earl John Perth. There is no date on the dial but Lord Perth believes it to be 1643.
The maker was John Mylne, Master Mason to Charles I.
