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.

Parish Church of St Gregory, Tredington

This vertical declining dial set below a dripstone in the wall of the church is so completely eroded that nothing of its original markings remains visible. It probably told not only the time of day but may have had declination lines which would show us the time of year too. The clue to this is the fact that the surviving iron gnomon, with its scalloped lower edge, has a clear ’nodus’ in the form of a notch, the shadow of which would move among the declination lines during the year. The dial is 400mm square. There is a mass dial on the church also.
