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.
It would be hard to find a plainer dial than this slate one on the church porch. It has a curved top in which you might expect to find a date, a motto or the churchwardens’ names but nothing apart from some lines concentric with the outline can be seen. If there ever was anything else there it has disappeared. It has concentric circles surrounding the gnomon root and shows VI - VI divided into halves by lines and quarters by dots. Its gnomon was once quite decorative according to Mrs Crowley’s 1959 drawing but much of it has rusted away since then. It is about 450mm square.
