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.
This small dial stands on a square stone slab on an older round-sectioned baluster pedestal which is mounted on a rough-hewn square stone block, to the east of the path to the south porch. It dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. It has a sun face compass rose with triangular points for the cardinal points and flaming rays for the intermediate directions, neither labelled. At the south is the motto ’Ut Hora Sic Vita’. Hour numerals aligned to the hour lines are V - XII - IIII - VII with a noon gap and read from the outside (but 9am is labelled as XI instead of IX), and divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes. The gnomon is broken but its lower half remains.
