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 plinth is a twisted stone cylinder bearing a moulded block narrowing to a point to receive the point of the dial block, with a lower octagonal section, about 3.5 ft high in all. The sandstone dial block is a rhomboid dodecahedron about 15" across with two cup-hollows, the rest flat surfaces, standing on its point on the plinth. Lines are not all clear, but copper gnomons are present including in hollows, possibly restored. The dial appears old but the plinth is more recent.
