While originally founded to support and represent the trade, most of its members now are amateurs, including sundial makers. The Clockmakers' Company (The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers of London, in full) is the London livery company for sundial makers as well as clockmakers and welcomes sundial makers throughout the country. The Ecclesiological Society A society going back to 1839 which studies churches. With the enormous number of dials on church property, there is an obvious overlap.
