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 quadrangle, this modern (2004) vertical south dial is 1000m square and made of painted wood. It replaces an earlier dial (SRN 2258) commemorating the Queen’s coronation, and commemorates the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. It shows the hours VII - V undivided. A large sun surrounds the gnomon root while a martlet flies beneath the hour lines. Across the bottom of the dial is the inscription ’Auspice Elizabetha II. Regnum inaugurante MCMLII, MMII. Decem Lustra Celebrante. Horas Non Numero Nisi Serenas.’ (Elizabeth II beginning her reign 1952. In 2002 celebrating ten periods of five years. I only count the bright hours.)
