Arms are Lower impaling Killigrew

Here lyeth buried the body of Dame Elizabeth Lower late wife unto Sr Nicholas Lower of Clifton Kt daughter unto Sr Henry Killigrewe of London Kt antiently descended from ye house of Arwennick in Cornwall and from ye youngest of the learned daughters of Sr Anthony Cooke Kt a maide of honour to Queene Elizabeth who for trew vertue piety & learning came nothing short that I may modestly speake of any her ancestors and for her singular courtesie to all & amiable subjection to her husband (a vertue rare and high). I thinke can hardly be matched, who deserves a far ampler character then can be contained in so narrow a roome. She dyed at Clifton in Cornwall the sixt day of June in the yeare of our Lord 1638 and expects heere a glorious resurrection.
