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.
Rectangular vertical south-facing dial on wall to left of porch.
The dialplate is held to the wall with four iron brackets. It has competent-looking but actually wildly inaccurate lines. There appear to be full-length hour and half hour lines, so it is difficult to distinguish them. Both the 6am and 6pm lines are above the horizontal (impossible on any correct dial - they should form a single line). The upright Roman numerals are well cut. Although the dial and gnomon are made for a due south-facing location, in fact this church declines about 8 degrees east of due south.
The flat strip gnomon has a single straight support. There is no noon gap, but frankly that is the least of the problems with this dial.
