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.
Cricket-themed circular horizontal sundial.
Standing alone in the middle of the village green is this unique sundial. The gnomon is of a cricketer in period dress, with raised bat forming the style - time is read from the lower edge of the bat or the batsman’s leading leg. The dial shows 8am to 6pm BST in Arabic numerals, read from the south. There is a negative noon gap - morning and afternoon scales overlap by a few minutes. An unusual semicircular Equation of Time graph engraved around the base of the gnomon allows conversion of indicated time to GMT or BST. The brick-built octagonal pedestal is aligned with the points of the compass.
