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.

Kilworth House Hotel (2), North Kilworth

The dial is over the gateway of a courtyard to the west of the hotel. Motto above ’NUNC EST BIBENDUM’ (Horace). Hour lines to sunburst at gnomon root. ’sun’ with hole at the end of a long rod gnomon, but no declination lines. Upright numerals IX - XII - IV - VIII. Originally there was an hour line for 9pm, as in the photos, but by 2017 it had been removed.
