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 south-facing dial above the wall to the left of the porch.
The dial stone is ’waisted’ rather after the style of a French clock and canted relative to the wall so as to face due south. The dial shows 6am to 6pm in hours with very deeply engraved and black infilled Roman lettering There is a cross patty at noon and IIII at 4pm. There are no hour lines, just dots to mark hours.
The gnomon may be iron.
It seems possible that the ’waisting’ is not just decorative but actually creates two more sundials, facing east and west.
