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 Mary’s Churchyard, Sturminster Marshall

The dial is in very poor condition, to the south-west of the church. Inscription is on plinth not on dial. Cannot discern markings on dial except for a few lines and AM and PM. Inscr reads: "To the honoured memory of Charles Joseph Parke and Mary Edith his wife" and " A Godly ??? Is given to him that heareth the Lord".
