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 at the corner of the south wall of the tower. Around the arched head is ’FUGIT IRREPARABILE TEMPUS’ (Time passes, never to be retrieved), and below that ’Lat 53 53 N / Declin 7 30 E / 1813’. The iron bar gnomon has a double notch nodus in its upper edge and although the body of the dial plate is eroded one can still see the upper arc of the Winter Solstice engraved ’Tropic of Capricorn’ and the Equinox line, probably engraved as such. The hours are marked with upright numerals VI - XII - IIII - V with hour and half-hour lines.
