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.

This slate dial on the south wall of the church is blighted by the thoughtless siting of a modern electric lamp which not only obscures part of the dial but casts its own shadow on it as well. It declines west and shows the hours VIII to VI, marking noon by a cross. At the top is the date, 1715 and round the gnomon root is a semicircle of sun rays alternating between straight and wavy. Some say that this is to remind us that the sun gives us both light and heat. As is common with dials having an iron gnomon, rust streaks have marred the lower part of the dial plate.
