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.

Benington Lordship, Stevenage

The dial is located in the rose garden in the middle of the lawn. The plate is very corroded and nearly indecipherable, but it does use Roman numerals. The gnomon is thin and has an unusually scalloped north edge. The pedestal is bottle shaped with broad filled fluting in its lower half and does not appear to be as old as the dial, though the latter fits it well.
