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.

Above the church porch.
The dial shows 6am to 6pm in hours. Arabic numerals are used.
An inscription at the bottom reads: PR Ward, TG Vett, presumably Churchwardens of the time. The date under the names may read 1830.
There is a chapter ring with semicircle around the gnomon root. The metal gnomon looks modern.
The hour lines are barely visible though the numerals and lettering were originally well incised.
