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 very good dial, if it were cleaned. S. Young who made the dial in 1749 was clearly a knowledgeable and skillful maker. There is a compass rose and a good ornate gnomon. The several rings engraved on the dial encircling the compass are to tell clock time, and especially to correct your watch. Two circles mark the months and even the days. The next circle tells you the Equation of Time for that day, that is the difference between sun time and clock time, and the outermost circle tells you whether your watch should be Faster or Slower of the dial. The dial was probably put in the churchyard to regulate the church clock. Very necessary in those days as weather and nesting owls could soon upset or stop a clock.
