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.

In the garden through the ’coach entrance’ is this strange attempt at a dial. The gnomon is in the form of an inclined bulrush emerging from reeds with a tortoise sculpture by the side. The dialplate is marked around its edge with numerals like a clock but with 24 hours, only noon being correct. The inner part of the dialplate is engraved with multiple concentric grooves.
