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.

St Gregory’s Church, Offchurch

The dial is sited about one third of the way up the tower. It replaces one which had been reduced to nothing more than a broken gnomon which swayed in the wind (SRN 1435). This one was made by Midland metals of Birmingham and was delineated by David Hawkey, Coventry, & Francis Daniell. An EOT plaque is provided, including the longitude adjustment. The dial shows the hours from 7am to 5pm in upright Arabic numerals. They are undivided but the hour lines are not; they have gaps in them. Above the dial is the motto, "Do not Forget to Live".
