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. Kentigern’s Church, Keswick

The dial can just be seen scored into the stonework of the south-west corner buttress, which dates from 1523. The inscriptions show 1pm to 7pm in hours in Arabic numerals - though more may possibly be there. There is a large cross patty to mark noon. The gnomon is missing but there is a possible hole for it. The dial is one of two at this church; see SRN 1002 for the other.
