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.
A simple engraved dial over the porch door, partially restored in the 1980s by Edward Brown, a local man who re-trained as a stone-mason after his retirement.
The church has been described as the most perfect example of early Perpendicular architecture in any English parish church. Built between 1401 and 1405 under Bishop of Durham, to replace an earlier church. It is likely that the stonemasons used here also worked on York Minster.
