Translation of Inscription on Monument: The chief justice of England. Whoever thou art (or a stranger too) pay your respects to those who are buried. Christopher Wray, who lives here was the glory of our legal system. Pairing business, true by name who shone forth in duty, understanding and faith. Lo, he was here, lo he is not. Swift fate overturns everything. Alas, he is dead to us but he himself survives. Earth to earth, Ashes to Ashes, the heavenly to heavenly things. The spirit of the celestial world he occupies the stars of heaven. He died the seventh day of May 1592 in the 34th year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

The tomb is probably by Nicholas Johnson.
