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 Archer sundial is in memory of The Right Hon William 1st Viscount De L’Isle VC KG GCMG GCVO, 23 May 1909 to 5 April 1991 The gnomon is in the shape of an arrow, the shadow of which falls on the calibrated bow. An inscription on a nearby plaque reads ’Who shoots at the midday sun, though he shall be sure he shall never hit the mark; yet as sure as he is he shall shoot higher than who shall aims but at a bush’ (Sir Philip Sydney, Arcadia, 1590).
