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.
The dial face is inscribed directly into the limestone, with :(1) ’In MEMORY of the DEAD’; (2) ’GOD is LOVE’; (3) ’I know that my Redeemer liveth’; (4) ’And when my Voice is lost in Death, Praise shall employ my nobler Pow’rs’; (5) ’Our Days on Earth are as a Shadow’.
Aligned Arabic numerals are read from outside at the inner ends of the hour lines, and half and quarter hour marks are shown. The pedestal is 406mm square and 1220 high, with four panels, one infilled with deceased names. The earliest is 1852 hence the conjectured date.
