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.
New green slate dialplate 1961, designed and organised by the Warham Guild. Renovation arranged by Sir Paul Benthall in memory of his cousin Mary Clementina Benthall. Upright Arabic numerals 7 - 12 - 4 with hour lines only. Circular hole in dialplate around origin reveals older mosaic of a left human eye. Motto over: ’Out of the strong came forth sweetness’ (from Sampson’s riddle). Below the dial is a carved stone lion’s head. A hole in its mouth leads to a beehive in the gallery, hence the motto.
