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.
A declining dial on the south wall, over the vestry, protected by a rain ledge. A gilded motto at top reads: ’Pulvis et Umbra Sumus’ (We are dust and a shadow). The dial plate has a grey centre with white edges and black letters and lines. It has upright hour numerals VI - XII - IIII - V divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes. 5 minutes are marked by pocks, half hours use inward markers ending in diamonds, and quarters are shown by ticks in a narrow scale. The strip gnomon has a gilded multiray sunburst at its root, and a single support.
