St Caffo (Llangaffo) submitted by Just3Days

Ancient Cross in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)

Early mediaeval cross shaft and tombstones in St Caffo's Churchyard, Llangaffo.

St Caffo (Llangaffo) submitted by Just3Days
A group of cross-incised gravestones; the tallest is 12th or 13th Century; the others range between 9th and 11th Century. The cross shaft visible at the top is thought to date from the period contemporary with the wheeled cross fragment inside.

St Caffo (Llangaffo) submitted by Just3Days
The earliest stone in St Caffo's - an early 7th Century memorial: CUI RNIN FILIUS CUURIUS CINI ERE XIT HUNC LAPI DEM which is probably: Gwernin, Son of Cuurius Cini, Set up this Stone. The stone is in the wall next to Henry the Hoover, in the sacristy.

    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.

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