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.

Dial in Dyfed Area

Like many Melvin dials, this has a main dial and a subsidiary at each corner. All five gnomons are now missing. Mottoes read: "Sol non occidat super iracundiam vestram" and "Horas non numero nisi serenas". 72 place names are shown, and there are EOT scales. The subsidiary dials have Arabic Nos and show Morning in New York, Evening in Alexandria, Evening in Isle of Borneo and Night in New Zealand. The hexagonal stone plinth, near the south porch, was part of an old pulpit, and the date MDCCCXLI is inscribed at its base.
