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 fine-looking but inaccurately delineated vertical dial. As can be clearly seen in the photograph, the hour lines do not radiate from the gnomon root as they should. The wall declines 50 degrees east of due south and this is reflected in the gnomon angle and hour lines. The hour lines, numerals and text are black on a white ground and show 4am to 2pm in half and quarter hours. The half hour markers have stylised fleurs de lys.
The inner rectangle encloses the text "C I.M 1372". The dial is partly shaded by eaves in summer.
