These scrolls are joined at the top by a convex bridge and below by a deep hollow that leads to a large inwardly-turned half-scroll, which rests on the inscribed area. The inscription reads: "Here lyeth ye Body of Mrs. Elizath: ye widow of Mr. John Wise who Departed this Life ye 6th of October 1718 in the 63 year of her Age."
