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 Dionysius Church, Market Harborough

The dial is prominently displayed on the south side of the tower. It uses upright numerals V - XII - IIII, with a triple square chapter ring having 5-minutes in the outer, 15 in the middle, and hours across all three. There are no interior hour lines, but there is a magnificent scrolled iron gnomon support. The motto across the top reads ’Improve the Time’.
