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.
This pair of sundials is on the church tower.
The west-declining dial shows 9am to 8pm in quarter hours. The east-declining dial shows 6am to 5pm in quarter hours. Upright Roman numerals are used with XII for noon and IIII for four.
The gnomons each emerge from golden suns and have ornate supporters. The dial had been recently re-gilded at August 2014.
The dial date is unknown; however, it is believed to replace a much earlier dial (designed by a Mr Butterfield) again of unknown date though that earlier dial was repainted in 1614.
