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 adjacent to a third floor window at the south end of the building, possibly 13 m above ground level. It has a patchy yellow-brown colouration.
It is probably a version of Pearson Page’s No 4206. The motto across the top is ’Vigila Oraque’ and the (false) date in a central rectangle below the gnomon is 1629. Both are in Gothic Blackletter script. If it is PP, it has been delineated for its east aspect, and an appropriate gnomon has been used. The gnomon is possibly hollow. It is attached at two points, and has three apertures through its thickness, two circular and one a 3-pointed shape. The style length is an estimated 480mm. Upright numerals are used, for the morning hours III - IIII - X, though it will never see 3am! Half hours are marked.
