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.
A fine modern dial made in 2008 by Silas Higgon, on a good pedestal, replacing one that wa stolen. There is everything on the dial that a good sundial should have, the time, latitude, the Equation of Time graph to enable clock time to be calculated, a compass rose and a good ornate gnomon.
It is also a memorial dial, in memory of Nancy Williams, and on the lower part of the plinth, ’John Hancock Joseph Waring Churchwardens here 1832’. And it is their names and that date that appeared on the stolen dial which was dated 1772.
