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 at ground floor level on a cottage wall facing south-east and backing on to the Victorian Flower Garden. In the lower half of the dial plate is inscribed ’How many times do I love thee, dear? / Tell me how many thoughts there be / In the atmosphere / of a new-fall’n year, / Whose white and sable hours appear / The latest flake of Eternity’ (Thomas Lovell Beddoes 1803 - 1849). Upright hour numerals V - XII - IV - V, with hour lines, and quarters indicated by a narrow chequered band outside the chapter ring. The gnomon is a rod with a ball nodus, and supported by a single straight rod with three diamond shapes along the centre. Five declination curves are marked in different colours, relating to the solstices and to family occasions.
