Elizabeth Williams died in childbirth when she was just 17 years old. The baby probably survived for a short time as it is dressed in what is called a chrysom - a christening gown indicating baptism
The Latin inscription on the epitaph reads....
Elisabeth speaks, "Husband, you carved in marble here your wife; Thus you'd ensure her immortality. But Christ my hope and trust was, all my life; So God forbids that I should mortal be". July 4th 1622
