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.

All Saints’ Church, Farnborough

Scratch dial 4.5m above ground level on a buttress of the tower. Carved into the stonework, the semicircular dial, four hour lines and five Roman numerals aligned with them are visible (X, XI, XII, I & II, some distance outside the semicircle) though hard to see from the ground. As is normal with such old dials there is no surviving gnomon. A vertical groove could be a split noon line or evidence of a polar gnomon. Note that there are four, probably older, mass dials at this church too. Keywords: Transitional dial, 180 degree
