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 block is mounted on a moulded support placed on a tall square shaft carved with fruit and heads of seven lynxes (three panels on each side), on a moulded base, about 2100 high overall. This is set on two square steps as a centre piece to the parterre.
This is a facet-head dial with 24 faces: 8 ball hollows on a central octagonal band, and alternating square and triangular hollows on sloping faces above and below, all with gnomons. The ball on the top is markede as a dial. The whole is mounted 90° out.
See the original report for comments on identification.
