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 fine replacement dial, installed in memory of Edmund William Davies. It shows Roman numerals from V - XII - IV - VII, bases to the inside, with a noon gap. Between the hour lines are 30, 15 and five minute divisions. The dial plate also features a 16-point compass rose, with the eight major points labelled. An inscription around the perimeter reads: "Fear no more the heat o’ the sun … As chimney sweepers. Come to dust. WS". Also shown is a curved Equation of Time chart, the location, "53 40 N Whalley 2 24 W", and its dedication: "Edmund William Davies / 29th May 1928 - 8th January 2010".
The original dial was dated 1737. The dial rests on a circular tapered stone column on large square base with three steps.
