Inscription translated as…

In Memory of that most illustrious man, John Prouz. Armiger descended from the very ancient Family of Prouz. Trusting in the Lord, he was loyal to the King, a dear husband, and a faithful friend. With him the race of Prouz (in the male line) became extinct, [but] heir[? esses] were born of the name. His ethereal spirit has been uplifted to the regions whither first ascended Christ, to the Star of Day. Judith his mourning relict, daughter of George Southcot, a Knight of golden [spurs], erects [this tablet]. He died 19 May, 1664.
