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 Old Almshouses, Aylesford

The dial is located under a gable overlooking the Green. The markings are clear but delineation is curious, showing 4am to 4pm (!) in 15 min intervals. Traces of the substyle do not seem to agree with the apparent declination. The date is taken from date of restoration of the building.
