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.
Dial 2, in lawns to the west end of Lauderdale House, at the northern end of Waterlow Park. A plaque is inscribed: "How well the skilful Gardener drew, Of flowers and herbs this Dial new, Where from above the milder Sun, Does through a fragrant Zodiac run; And, as it works, th’industrious Bee, Computes its time as well as we. How could such sweet and wholesome Hours, Be reckoned but with herbs and flowers!" From ’The Garden’ by Andrew Marvell (1621-1678). Marvell lived in a cottage which became Waterlow Park.
The gnomon is of wrought iron. No hour markings are shown.
