"Here lyeth the bodye of Barbara the wife of John Plumleigh of Dartmouth who departed this life the thirde day of September 1610
Here lyeth the wife of John Plumleigh who Barbara had to name
Whose virtuous life and Godly death hath left her lasting Fame
Of Rich and Poore she was beloved to Ye one a Neighbour kind
To the other still in all distress, a tender harted frende
Two sons and daughters 4 she bare unto her husband deare
And dyed when age had neere run out ye Four and XXXth yeare
Whose corps have thou O Death destroy, yet Christ shall raise again
And it conjoin with Soul in blisse for ever to remain
For Death to Life A Passage Is, as Scriptures ALL accord
Blest are the Dead therefore that die in favour of ye Lord"
