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 Peter and St Paul Church, Burgh-le-Marsh

The dial plate is a thick stone slab fixed in place with iron dog-nails, on to the brickwork above the bricked-up entrance into the south aisle. In a semicircle below the gnomon root are the initials ’T. T’. Upright numerals VI - XII - IIII - VI, with hour lines to the semicircle and half and quarter hour marks in the chapter ring. The gnomon is rusted away but remnants of two fixings are in situ. A partially obscured stone plate set into the brickwork at the arch apex is inscribed ’W D & H [B?] / C W A [HO?] / 170[2?]’ . Compare SRN 7765 at Thorpe St Peter, almost certainly by the same maker.
