Thanks for your generous offer. The following is from a tomb in the floor

of Kilpeck Church, Herefordshire, England. I suspect it is in Latin, so it
may not fall within the framcework of your offer. In case it does, the
tomb reads as follows:---
Depositum
Roberti Pye
A(next letter could be small r with a tilde over it)
Fily ("Y" has two dots over it) Walteri Pye de Mynd
in hac parochia (the a has a mark over it, hard to distinguish) Equitis
Aurati
qui obyt 30 Jan: (the J look like a capital I) Anno Salums (or Salutis)
MDCLXXX
AEtatis 42.
So far I can figure out
Here lies Robert Pye son of Walter Pye of the Mynd.
I guess he died Jan 30 1680 at age 42. It is the middle line I can't figure out
I'd be glad of your help. Thanks. Willette Wood
