Inscription

Buried beneath this tomb lie William Sandys and his Consort Margaret, happy her name, happy her name and her fame.
He an Esquire who rejoiced in his day in the favour of Princes
She a pattern to all, Holy and Saintly in life
Happy they were in their home, in the equal lot of their Wedlock
Blest in their wealth and their faith, blest in their sires and their sons.
Great were the pledges of favour divine they received in abundance.
Greatest of all was the fame won them by Edwin their son
Doctor was he and a Proctor and Head of a College at Cambridge
Thrice as a Bishop enthroned, thrice was he Head of a See
They that were one in their life and their love, and their hallowed affection
Resting beneath this stone wait for the life to come
