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 church here is now in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust and the slate dial on the porch is partly obscured by the slate barge-boards. At the top is a circular finial beaing the date 1686 and there were originally triangular ones at either side. The right hand one was already missing when Mrs Crowley drew the dial in 1958 and the left one, if it is there, is invisible. Below these there is a partly obscured motto which in Mrs Crowley’s sketch reads "As time & hours pas away, so douth ye life of man decay". The dial declines 10° East and shows VI to V in hours and, in an outer scale, half hours. Uses XII and IIII. There are decorative devices either side of XII and in the bottom corners. The gnomon root is displaced to the right and all hour lines emanate from a semicircle around the root. Left and right edges of the dial plate have a scrolled pattern. Rusted strip gnomon ans supporter. The dial measures 610mmw x 76ommh.
