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 to the NW of the tower and is set into a square slate top stone, mounted on a circular sectioned, and fluted, plinth, approx 1800 high. It is inscribed at the south, read from the north, ’Bird Mountsoarhill / Lat 52 47½ ’. Hour numerals are IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from inside, with noon gap and divided in an inner ring to 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 hours, and in an outer ring to 10 and 2 minutes. There is an 8-point compass rose at the centre, labelled to NE etc. The gnomon is 3/8" thick and is secured by four flat side support blocks.
Mountsoarhill is now known as Mountsorrell, and is some 10 miles SW of Wartnaby.
