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 engraved in the centre ’Constructed / for / The Revd John Pratt / Enniskean / Lat 51° 44’ / Lon 8° 56’ ’, and in a cartouche ’by D. O’Connell Augt 1843’. The gnomon is missing. The chapter ring is marked from 5am to 7pm in Roman numerals, read from the inside, with no noon gap. There are time rings outside the chapter ring showing hours and 30, 15 and 5 minutes. There is an Equation of Time table around the outside edge of the dial, and a 16-point compass rose at the south, not labelled.
