Next to the tomb of Col. Philemon Lloyd—on its left as one looks to read them—is that of Henrietta Maria, his wife:

To Whose Memoby Richabd [bennett] Dedicates This ToM[b] This beautiful marble box shaped tomb of Henrietta Maria (Neale-Bennett) Lloyd, wife of Col. Philemon Lloyd, erected by Richard Bennett, her son by her first husband, is much damaged by falling branches of trees in frosty weather and missing parts of the top slab are now replaced by brick work, and side slabs, which doubtless had inscription are also gone. The arms in the oval shield in the upper (heraldic) right corner (left as one looks down on it from the foot) of the slab are those of Bennett, 3 demi lions rampant, and Neale, a fess between 2 crescents in chief and a bugle horn in base, impaled; and the arms in the other corner are those of Lloyd, a lion rampant, and a remnant of the same Neale arms, impaled.
