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.

The dial is a lectern-type facetted block with a 4-pointed equatorial star, south polar hemi-cylinders, numerous sinkings on all sides, eg square and triangular. There are 36 dial surfaces in all. The metal gnomons on the north and south are missing. The north vertical dial is Inscribed ’W FRIER DIALIST PRESTON 1828’. Lea House (now Westleigh) was built for Adam Leigh in 1862, so the dial must have been moved from somewhere else.
