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.

The dial is above the right ground floor window. It has upright Roman numerals VI - IIII - VI, with noon marked only by an extension of the noon hour line. The hour lines converge to a semicircle around the gnomon root, radius 100mm; half and quarter hour marks are in the narrow square chapter ring. The gnomon is missing and the dial plate is cracked along the noon line. The dial is held by six iron clamps to an attractive brick wall (Flemish bond, with decorative burnt headers) which is canted a few degrees east.
