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.

All Saints’ Church (1), Sutton Courtenay

Very large southwest-facing and a northwest-facing dials high on a corner of the tower. The dial on the left faces 20 degrees north of due west, that on the right faces 20 degrees west of due south, as reflected in its gnomon angle. No markings are visible on either plate and the left dial’s gnomon is missing. Each dial is topped with an ornately carved piece featuring seven ball finials. The one remaining gnomon is a simple iron strip with a single curved supporter. The tower was built in 1330, but the dials are later. There is another vertical dial on the porch (SRN 6428).
