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 large horizontal dial is laid out with a semi-circular seating area to the south. The hour lines on the concrete paving of the north side of the dial are continued as vertical markers against a high brick wall, but this is of course incorrect - they should slope inwards, converging on the intersection of the gnomon with the upwards extension of the wall. The dial is at its best in winter, as in summer it is heavily shaded by a large tree.
The park surrounds the Imperial War Museum and has sweeping lawns with beautiful flower beds and sculptures.
