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.
The gnomon of a horizontal dial is always its most vulnerable part and, true to form, this one is broken. The dial shows IV - VIII divided into halves & quarters and, round the perimeter, 5 minute intervals. There is an eccentric circle decoration on the copper dial plate which also bears the names of the vicar, Saml Jones, and the churchwardens, Thos Paddy and Wm Mousley. The dial is dated 1749. It has an octagonal chapter ring, and measures 255mm across the flats. It stands on an eroded octagonal section sandstone column set on an irregularly shaped base, to the south-east of the south doorway to the church.
