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 will be found near the tramway bridge. In the outer semicircles is ’Stratford-upon-Avon Boat Club War Memorial 1921’, and the motto in a ribbon around the chapter ring reads: ’Their memory shall as a pattern or a measure live’ (2 Henry IV iv 75). The hour numerals extend unusually from 3am to 9pm, using III - IIII- XII - IIII - IX, read from the outside and divided to half hours by lines coming half-way out from the centre and to quarters by ticks in a narrow chapter ring inside the numerals. There is a noon gap for the (missing) gnomon - which may have incorporated an oarsman. The semicircles are engraved with a butterfly or moth, a bat, a sun and a moon.
