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.

Priory Hotel, Bury St Edmunds

The dial is a rectangular slab of stone or plaster inset high on a brick wall, which is topped with a quadruple brick chimney stack, facing a few degrees south of west. It was originally painted, and a white sun with long thin rippled rays remains, but there are now no hour lines or numerals to be seen. The thin iron rod gnomon has three short support struts.
