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.
Four dials are mounted on an equilateral triangular section slate pillar 3600mm high. They show morning and afternoon clock time for the first half of the year (above) and the second half (below). Hours are indicated by upright Arabic hour numerals and divided to quarters.
The dial was delineated by Sir Mark Lennox-Boyd and made by Burlington Slate and Andrew Irvine of Stonecroft, Bowness. It is inscribed ’Where adults feel like children again’. All furniture is inscribed and gilded.
