Surprising sandstone

Hollington Stone (a form of sandstone used in the construction of churches among other buildings) actually comes from quarries in a village called ... Hollington!
(This may not come as a surprise to others - but I'm afraid it did to me...)

The smallest 'shop' in Staffordshire

As small rural communities dwindle, facilities - including village shops - disappear.
Hollington is a good example of this tendency, as there are possibly only a couple of dozen scattered homes now left in the vicinity and very little else except sheep.  But, they do still have a pub, The Raddle Inn. 
Outside the Raddle is a vending machine, selling bread, milk, bacon, chocolate bars.
Clever,

Hollington weave

The markings on gravestones can be a bit of a mystery to the uninitiated (such as me).  This weave pattern on a stone at St John's in Hollington was, I thought, a graphic design based on the deceased man's name (Samuel Smith) - but it doesn't compute.

It's not a common pattern.  What does it signify?
