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.

All Saints’ Church (1), Coleshill

An unusual vertical and horizontal double dial built into a buttress. The dial is low down on the buttress to the left of the porch. The vertical and horizontal faces would have shared a common gnomon, now missing. This well illustrates the relationship between horizontal and vertical sundials. There is considerable lichen and no numerals are visible but many hour lines are. See also SRN2808 higher on the same buttress. Not to be confused with Coleshill, Warwickshire.
