„DECEASED THE 5TH OF SEPTEMBER AN° DONI 1594.

ROBERT KITCHIN ALDERMAN & HIS WIEF
LIETH NEERE THIS PLACE CLOSED IN EARTH & CLAY
THEIR CHARITIES ALIKE IN DEATH AND LIFE
WHO TO THE POORE GAVE ALL THEIR GOODES AWAY
LEAVING IN TRUST SUCH MEN TO ACT THE SAME
AS MIGHT WITH TRUTH PERFORM THEIR GOOD ENTENT
SO THAT THE POORE IN DEED AND EKE IN NAME
TO LASTING AGES IN THIS CITIE MEANT
AND OTHER PLACES OF THIS KINGDOM FAIRE
AS KENDALL TOWNE & STRICKLANDFIELD BOTH HAVE
WITH BATHE THE NATIVE PLACE OF HER FIRST AYRE
THE BOVNTIE OF THEIR GUYFTES THEY TO THEM GAVE.“
