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.

Howick Hall, Craster

24-facet block about 18" across; dials on all surfaces, but no hollows except for a circular recess on the south side above a normal dial. All gnomons missing; finial missing, probably a ball; some faces labelled with compass direction eg S, E, NE etc. The dial was found under laurel bushes and set up (wrongly) on the croquet lawn.
