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.

St Margaret’s Parish Church, Ormesby St Margaret

The dial is above the porch entrance. It uses upright numerals VII - XII - IV - VI, with hour lines to a small semicircle around the gnomon root, and half and quarter hour divisions. The lettering at top edge is now largely illegible, but Gatty says that it is ’Watch, for ye know not the hour’. The rod gnomon has a ’curly bracket’ shaped support.
