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 dial is a copy of a 17th century lectern re-discovered recently in the same garden (SRN 1220). It stands in the family burial ground.
It is a small facetted block, about 1 ft high, with horizontal top with a raised north-facing block in the centre with an equatorial dial (no star); south-facing polar hemi-cylinder; other surfaces flat or with hollow (east and west) with bar gnomon in stone across the cusp of heart; south vertical with gnomon; dials on all available surfaces; north side flat and unmarked as if previously mounted on a wall or pillar.
