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.

Manor Gardens, Eastbourne

The dial is on a stone pedestal 1100 high, inscribed ’In Memory of Neville Clements’. The dial is badly damaged and most of the detail is missing, but there is an EOT graph. It uses Roman numerals read from the inside for 5am to 7pm divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes, and may also be marked with BST hours. The top three-quarters of the gnomon have been broken off.
