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.

Dial in Suffolk

The dial is mounted on a circular section baluster pedestal 1000h, in a border facing the pond. The motto reads: "Sunny Hours". The dial plate is irregularly cut and hand engraved. It shows 5am (?4am) to 8pm in 30, 15 and 7.5 mins, with a noon gap. Possibly a Victorian fake? The gnomon is a poor replacement and wrongly aligned.
