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 in the Provost’s garden. The latitude is inscribed but is indecipherable. The dial shows 4am to 8pm in 30, 15, 7.5 and 10 and 2 minute intervals on an outer ring. It uses XII and IIII, the numerals viewed from the inside of the dial, and there is a noon gap. Half hours are marked by inward fleurs de lys. There is elaborate piercing to the gnomon, which might be newer than the dial. It stands on an elegant slender square topped baluster pedestal with a two step base. The date of the dial is thought to be c1750 though it is a modern (c1980) gift to the college.
