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, Yatesbury

Probably painted blue, gold delineation, black gnomon. Gnomon length and angle measured at 720mm and 53 degrees. Hour lines to sunburst at gnomon root. Upright numerals VI - XII - IIII - VI, with half and quarter hour lines. The dial was originally mounted 25 feet up the south wall of the tower (resting on iron spikes and canted out) but is currently (June 2010) held indoors, its future or a new dial being considered by church authorities. May have replaced an earlier stone dial. Three mass dials here too.
