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.
At the west end of the Millennium Green. Dial is a large circular area cut into a south facing slope. Hours only are marked each by a stone This monolith of a gnomon is a piece of the famous Kerridge sandstone, and is the largest that could be cut at the nearby Kerridge quarry. A brass plate on the side shows the Equation of Time and the longitude enabling clock time to be calculated. The instigator and designer of the dial is Sir Francis Graham Smith, a past director of the Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope and once Astronomer Royal. Sir Francis is chairman of the Millennium Green Trust.
The sundial, Kerridge quarries, my house and the Jodrell Bank radio telescope are all within site of one another - this sundial can only belong here.
