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 dial is mounted on a small stone slab at ground level on the grassy island close to St Giles churchyard, where the road north forks towards Blenheim NW, and to Banbury NE. There is a small plaque on the slab reading ’Bonn--Oxford / Peter Riegel 1985 / Bezirkesvorstehen’ (District Leader).
It is a modern equatorial memorial dial in an armillary sphere, not adjustable for latitude. The hour ring uses raised cast hour numerals VI - XII - IV - VI, with half hour dots. The other two rings are vertical - a north-south meridian ring open on the south side and an east-west ring. The axial arrow forms the gnomon. There is no nodus.
