Taking this interpretation to be the true reading of the 



inscription, we have the following epitaph ; — 



Hie jacet 



Domina Blanchea 



V, sit 



Domina pr. quondam 



Obiit anno d 1440. 



i.e., 



Hie jacet 



Domina Blanchea 



virgo sit 



Domina prioressa quondam 



Obiit anno Domini 1440. 



Here lies 



The Lady Blanche ; 



She was a nun, 



At one time a lady prioress ; 



She died in the 



Year of our Lord 1440.
