Coningsby, Esq; and died without issue November 22, 1608, aged 67, in memory of whom, Sir John Windham of Orchard in Somersetshire, her cosin and heir, hath placed this marble.
If joy and Peace doe theire blest soules adorne
That here to God and men true faith have borne
O how cn they felicitie be tolde
Whose vertues (though thou dead) shall neare grow cold.
With mercie to the poore thye hart did flow
The fruit of merice ow they soule dot know.
