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 in the garden which is open regularly (www.Renishaw-Hall.co.uk).
It is an armillary dial of ’bow-string’ design, made from one piece of bronze 400 x 400 x 20mm. The time is shown with longitude correction in Arabic hour numerals divided to 15 and 5 minutes.
It was designed by Sir Mark Lennox- Boyd and manufactured by John Huddlestone of Mardale, Quernmore, LA2 9EG.
