Sorry to have to correct you but I think you have misidentified this lovely stones companion- it is not Henry Hoover but "'Erbert Electrolux "

Lots to see here: 7th C stone in the sacristy; wheeled cross fragment in the chancel, 5 early gravestones & cross shaft in the churchyard, and even the boundary wall facing the road is meant to have some fragments within it. See Frances Lynch's ubiquitous guide to historic Gwynedd in the CADW book series.
