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 Torney Church, North Hill

This badly cracked dial is to be found canted east on the two-storey porch. It has the motto ’Sic transit Gloria Mundi’ with a lower case ’t’ and this is not the engraver’s only error since he has XII facing backwards (a fact which Mrs Crowley failed to notice when she drew the dial in 1963).
