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.

St Mary the Virgin’s Church (3), North Stoke

Vertical south-facing dial, now illegible. The arched dial plate is mounted in a wall, on a corner of the tower, angled to face due south. It is above another stone which may have held an inscription but the stone surface is spalling so badly that neither can be read. The strip/sheet iron gnomon is rusty & somewhat bent. The dial is presumed to be contemporary with the rebuild of the tower in 1725 after it collapsed in 1669. At the same church are two other notable dials: SRN 0497, SRN 0499.
