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.

Triangular Lodge (1), Rushton

The dial is mounted in a slight recess in the original north stone wall, high on the gable. E and W dials also exist, with gnomons of same design - see SRN 7074 and 7075. The motto above reads: ’Non Mihi’. There are no visible markings, and the dial was presumably originally painted. The unusual ’dog-leg’ sheet gnomon is mounted upside down but positioned correctly would give a ’virtual root’ below the dialplate.
