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 dial is mounted on the south face of the building above double-opening doors onto the garden, and below a first floor window. It is a large thin stone plate with all furniture inscribed and painted black. Hours are VIII - XII - IIII - VI, with full length hour lines, and half-hour lines, with arrow head, for the wider hour gaps of 8:30 and 9:30am, and 4:30 and 5:30pm. The gnomon is an iron strip with straight support to the tip, and scroll decoration to the support.
There is a large dis-coloured circular shape centred on the tip of the gnomon, which may indicate that there was a plaque there originally. The lower edge of the chapter ring seems to be a repair using whiter stone.
Rectory Court was originally ’The Old Rectory’, but is now a complex of private flats, with small bungalows in the grounds.
