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 is a stone cube on a tall stone pillar on the verge of the A422, just west of the village. The pillar is indicated as a guidepost on OS Landranger map 151,1990, and is marked as being 17m from Stratford, 3m from Banbury. The four faces are inscribed in hours with small upright Roman numerals, using IV and XII. Inscribed on east face is: ’First given by Mr Fran White in the year 1686’. There is a sculpted hand on south side pointing (and inscribed) ’to Banbury’, and similarly hands on west side show ’to London’ and ’to Stratford’, and on the north side ’To Chipping Norton’.
The gnomons were missing in 2008, but Sundials on the Internet has a picture showing them.
Note that Wroxton has several other interesting sundials: SRN 2251, 2758, 3959, 3960, 3961 and, in Fairleigh Dickinson University: SRN 2778, 6999, 7001
