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 Peter’s Church, Little Comberton

On the South facing wall of the church is a vertical dial which declines East. Why was not a direct South dial placed here since the present dial has had to be canted from the wall to achieve its correct orientation? Has it been moved here from another position? The stone is heavily weathered but a circle can be seen round the gnomon root and there is a cross to mark noon. A notch on the gnomon looks far too large to be a nodus and may simply be due to rust. The dial is an 18th century one and is about 600mm square.
