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.

St George’s Parish Church, St Kitts, Leeward Islands

The dial plate is on a square sectioned baluster pedestal in the churchyard. It is clearly inscribed ’Hyde / Bristol’ at the south of the square chapter ring. Roman numerals read from outside, but 4pm is possibly inscribed as ’VI’ and noon is just ’XI’, the second ’I’ maybe obscured by the broad gnomon gap. No hour lines or other furniture in the centre of the plate, but the chapter ring is divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes. The gnomon is missing.
