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.

All Saints’ Parish Church, Swinford

This is a semicircular mass like dial with numerals, possibly a transitional dial. It is incised into a quoin stone at the south-east corner of the south aisle. It has Roman hours for 6am to 7pm, using XII and IIII, and hour lines to a small double circle. The iron bar gnomon, with a single straight support, does not spring from the meeting point of the hour lines, and the delineation is not correct for a vertical dial.
