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 Sunken Garden. At the south side of the dial plate, read from the north, is the inscription ’THOMAS RIPLEY LONDON’. There is a 16-point compass rose labelled to NNE etc. The hour numerals are IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from the outside, with a noon gap and divided to 30, 15 and 7.5 minutes inside the chapter ring, and to 30, 10, 5 and 1 minute outside, labelled in Arabic at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60. The solid bronze gnomon has short rectangular chamfered supports and the angle is 55°.
