[Spidermonkey]

Hi all,

Is anyone able to deciper this inscription from Little Braxted church?   I must confess it makes my eyes go a little funny looking at it!!

Thanks in advance,

Obviously in Latin

I can make out some words but not much Latin so will leave for someone else

Hi Spidermonkey, I think I can make out most of it except for a couple words on the first line:

Orate p[ro] a[n]i[m]ab[us] Will[elm]i Robertis ... ... auditoris d[o[size=0pt]'[/size]]m[ini] Reg[is] Henrici
Septum et Jocose uxoris eius que fuit filia Ed[ward]i Peryent(?) armige[ri]
et Margarete postea uxoris euisd[e]m Will[elm]i que fuit filia Will[elm]i
Pirton milite qui quidem Willi[elm]us Robertis obyt octano die
octobris A[nn]o d[o[size=0pt]'[/size]]m[ini] M^o V^C viij^o quoru[m] a[n]i[m]ab[us] p[ro]picietur deus amen

Pray for the souls of William Roberts ... ... auditor of our Lord King Henry the
Seventh and Jocose his wife who was the daughter of Edward Peryent(?) armiger,
and Margaret later the wife of the said William who was the daughter of William
Pirton knight, which the same William Roberts died the eighth day of
October in the year of our Lord 1508, may God have mercy on their souls amen.

Thank you Alexander, that is fantastic.

Just for the sake of completeness, I think the next three words after Roberts in line one may be nuper unius auditorum meaning "lately one of the auditors" though perhaps that ought to be unus rather than unius?
