1691 burial in Lilleshall

[mezentia]

It's clear that the burial is for someone with the surname Bill on the 22nd, but the rest is a bit of a puzzle. Help needed to decipher, please.

Well, she was a widow and her name ended "rett" but I can't convince myself that it was Margaret.

Aha!
Looks like she was Anchoret, widow of Thomas Bill whose will can be seen here:

Hi,

I agree with DRH123 on the content of this entry. 

Here is a transcription/extract of the entry in full:

"Anchorett Bell widow was March ye 22d Anno prdict Buried"

Note that I have interpreted her surname as Bell, not Bill.  The reasoning for this is that all other letter "i"s on the page have been very distinctly dotted above but no dot appears above this surname.  The second letter in the surname appears to have been written as a letter "e" but it has been somewhat converged with the third letter "l".  For this, I compared the downstroke to the downstroke of the letter "e" in the word "Margaret" three lines above.
