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.

Vertical dial over the front door.
The dial is a copy of that which served on "Dial House" up to 1936/37 when the house was demolished. The present Dial House is at 90 degrees to the old but the dial layout is unchanged and is simply copied, so is useless as a sundial.
The dial should be facing south-west, not north-west. It shows 8am to 7pm in half and quarter hours. The Roman numerals use XII at noon and IV at 4pm. Hour lines and numerals are black on a white ground.
