Sir Edward Neville, died 1632, Fellow of Kings College Cambridge,
whose father, Sir Henry Neville, was Queen Elizabeth I’s Ambassador to Henry IV of
France. This must have had considerable style when originally put in place but both
the slates used for the inscription and the surrounding gold size ornament have
deteriorated with the passage of time. Even after restoration the Latin inscription is
difficult to read from ground level and is partly indecipherable at eye level as the Latin
is corrupt - and may have been unintelligible to the original carver.
