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 painted dial, with ’W C / 1668’ around the gnomon root. The almshouses were the charitable gift of William Cleave, Alderman of London, at that date. Upright numerals VI - XII - IIII - VI, with hour lines to a curve surrounding the initials and date, and shorter half-hour and quarter-hour lines. The dial plate is set into brickwork at the apex of the gable-end over the central entrance of the almshouses.
A plaque states that the dial was restored in 1991 by the generosity of the Heritage Trust of London.
