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 Edward the Confessor Church (2), Westcott Barton

Semicircular vertical declining dial over the porch. The lower of a pair of dials above the porch which declines about 10 degrees east of south. The chapter ring is a circular arc, with small Roman hour numerals from 7am to 4pm aligned with the hour lines. There are full length hour lines and short half hour marks, all deeply engraved in the stone of the porch. The gnomon is a flat blade with a shaped tip. The substyle is around 11:10am. The church is largely twelfth century but this dial is certainly newer than that. See SRN 6846 for the dial immediately above this one.
