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 interesting dial is unmounted and is held inside the museum. It has hour rings for Constantinople, Pekin and Boston (New England), and is ornamented with orbits for Saturn and Jupiter & diagrams of eclipses. The gnomon is broken.
