      Judith's tomb is in the floor of the Ivye Chapel with the the above carving in the wall just above the tomb. The following inscription was placed in the stone which covers the tomb. It was written by Anthony, as was the above inscription. The fo llowing inscription can no longer be seen because a wooden floor has been placed in the church so that it could be properly heated, but the carving on the wall can still be seen.

      REST IN THE LORD MOST LOVING WIFE,
      THY DAIES ARE SPENT AND GONNE,
      THY HUSBAND'S RACE AND END OF LIFE
      SHALL BE, GOD KNOWETH HOW SOON.
      THOUGH DEATH HATH DOON THE WORST HE CAN
      TO PART US TWAYN A SPACE,
      YET TIME WILL COME TO MEET AGAIN
      IN HEAVEN THAT JOYFULL PLACE.
      WITH BITTER TEARS THY HUSBAND SPAKE
      THESE WORDS UPON THY TOOMBE.
      HIS HAND DID WRITE, THES VERS DID MAKE
      TO SHOW IN TIME TO CUM
      HOW FAITHFULL THOU HAS BEEN TO ME,
      AND HADDEST SIX CHILDREN DEAR,
      WITHIN SIX YEARE A MARVELL TO SEE
      ALL BORNE ONE TIME OF YEARE;
      THE SEVENTH ALSO IN LIKE MANNER,
      IF DEATH HAD NOT THEM LETT,
      BORNE HAD BEEN AS THE OTHER WEAR,
      AT MIDSUMMER TIME DIRECT.
      ALAS HOW SHOULD IT CHANCE SO BAD
      TO LITTLE BABES SO YOUNG,
      TO TELL IN TIME WHAT LOSSE THEY HAD
      BI NATURE WHENCE THEY SPROUNG
      BUT GOD IS HE WHO GIVITH LIFE,
      AND HE THAT TAKES AWAY,
      LET US THEREFORE AVOYD ALL STRIFE
      AND GEVE OURSELVES TO PRAY.

      IN ORDERS AS THEY BEE.
