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 Martin in Meneage Church, St Martin in Meneage

The dial was reported in 1990 to be held in the vestry for safe keeping. The pedestal is in the SW corner of churchyard, to right of gate as you enter. Details are not clear from the photograph but the dial appears to have Roman hour numerals from 4am to 8pm, divided to 30, 15 and 5 minutes, and to have a small flaming sun round the root of the gnomon. The gnomon is an unpierced sheet with full length supporters along its lower edge.
