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.
Hour lines for 6am to 6pm, and half hour lines, with 11, 12 and 1 marked along the northern ends of the hour lines, and 6 to 6 along the southern ends, all in aligned Arabic numerals. Back hours have been omitted as the garden is small and is surrounderd by high hedges, so the sundial will not be able to show the extreme hours. Astronomically relevant lines coloured as follows: Equinoxes: green / Winter solstice: blue / Summer solstice: yellow. An anniversary line has been drawn and coloured red. Short solid gnomon whose tip forms the nodus. A honey bee and a skep are depicted in the NW and NE corners respectively, and the motto ’Time is like the passing of a hand’ in Papyrus font is across the S side. Set up on a low square section brick plinth.
Delineation: Robert Sylvester / Gnomon: Michael Brooke / Carving: David Allonby (stonemason responsible for carving the Holker dial - SRN1819).
