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 stands in the ornamental herb garden. It is cut into the square stepped top of a high round baluster sandstone pillar with an octagonal stepped base tapering to the circular baluster. The dial shows 4am to 8pm in Roman numerals with IIII for four, read from inside. The date "1822" is split between the two top spandrels and "LAT 55 DG" is engraved near the root of the gnomon. The bronze gnomon, which is probably a replacement, is 205 mm high and the dial has a noon gap to compensate for its thickness. The scrollwork of the gnomon includes a stylised Irish Harp with the silhouette of a female figure.
