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 inset in a stone surround. It has a Greek inscription at the top, translated at the botom to : ’Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light. Job 12.35’. The date 1671 on the dial is only the date of the house. A drawing of 1823 shows no dial, so the dial could have been placed by the new owner (Thos Cartwright) in 1894/5. The initials MC may be those of Maria Chigi wife of Sir Fairfax Cartwright who moved in 1895. Only a few lines and Roman numerals are visible now. There is a sun at the gnomon root. The dial shows 6am to 5pm in half hours using two chapter rings and probably uses XII and IV though this is not clear. The gnomon has a horizontal supporter with a scroll at the gnomon end.
Ref Gatty 1900, pp254, 482, and Gatty 1872 for illustration.
Compare SRN 2776 with a very similar gnomon.
