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.

Holme Lacy House Hotel, Holme Lacy

In the Italian garden is a horizontal dial which looks unfinished. It has a gnomon appropriate for a double horizontal dial but the whole area where the delineation for such a dial should be has been left blank. It has numerals for the hours V-VII but no hour lines though the chapter ring has been divided into quarter hour intervals. It stands on a large ornate baluster pedestal with a square base and the area is surrounded by a flower bed and a box hedge. The dial is modern and it has been suggested that it represents an abandoned project.
