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.

10 Market Square, Toddington

The dial mounted above the front door is a semi-circular headed rectangle, mounted on a point-arch headed wooden board canted to face south that may have originally held a larger dial. Very little detail now remains, but one can still make out ’VIVAT CAROLVS SECVNDVS’ across the foot, and the date 1663 above, and it is clearly Pearson Page’s model 4227, based on the original stone dial at Peterborough, SRN 6078. The gnomon is still in good condition.
