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 location given here is for the entrance to the garden. The dial is a square gritstone slab (from Stoke Hall Quarry) on a short square sectioned column of Derbyshire sandstone. It has numerals VI - XII - IV - VI, read from the south, with no hour lines or subdivisions. The only other furniture is the indication ’N’ below the noon hour marker. The stainless steel gnomon is a simple unsupported blade. The dial commemorates 50 years care of the gardens by the Tye family. ’LEA’ is inscribed on the south edge of the dial stone, and ’TYE’ on the east. It was designed and made b Robert Reid.
