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 dial is in the churchyard to the south-east of the church. It is square, and is mounted on a circular bronze plate which sits on the capital of a circular section stone pillar on a two-step plinth. It shows hours IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from the inside, with a split noon and divided to 30, 15, 10, 7.5, 5 and single minutes. Half hours are dotted, and single minutes are marked in 10s with Arabic numerals. Noon is marked at eleven cities: Bantam, Surret, Babylon, Jerusalem, Rome, London, Dublin, Barbados, New York, Charles Town, and Mexico.
Mottoes in panels on the circular plate to each side of the dial read: N "Thou by this dial’s shady stealth may’st know time’s thievish progress to eternity"; E "Hours are time’s shafts and one comes winged with death"; S "With warning hand I mark time’s rapid flight. From life’s glad morning to its solemn night but through Almighty love I also show there’s light above me, by the shade below"; W "Watch, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh".
