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.
In the walled garden here is a modern horizontal dial by Haddonstone (E.Haddon). The 291mm diameter dial plate is of gunmetal mounted on a fluted pillar of reconstructed stone. It shows the hours IV - VIII divided into halves, quarters and periods of 5 and 10 minutes. 4am appears as IV while 4pm is shown as IIII. The 10 minute divisions are labelled in Arabic numerals. There is a noon gap. The straight underside of the gnomon forms the style. There is an elaborate sunface in the centre and a 16-point compass rose offset to the south of the gnomon. The motto reads ’Make time, save time while time lasts. All time is no time when time is past.’
