The text reads:
To the memory of a trusty servant, a loyal subject, a kind master,
a faithfull friend, a loving husband and a good Christian. And now
reader think not, yet this is to ye memory of MANY but wonder that ‘tis
to that of ONE. To that of Mr. JOHN ROLLESTON of Rolleston, in Staffordshire
well born and well bred. Well knowne & therefore well loved by
ye high and mighty. Wm. late lord duke of Newcastle and his noble family
as having had ye honour of being his secretary when he himself had
yet great one of being Governor to the prince afterwards King Charles
the Second as likewise that of secretary, to ye army under his excellencies
command in ye late unhappy warrs. His approved honesty and abilities
in business rendered him highly usefull to his master and his country
particular to the former in ye management and preservation of his estate
in a time when ye government: it felt it was too weak to preserve anything
from RAPINE and RUINE. The advantages raised to himself out of a long &
meritorious service were almost entirely lost upon the declining future
of ye royal party at Marston Moor & yet his good service in ye
end mett with what he valued above all, ye honour of having been highly
trusted and ye comfort of having honestly discharged the trust. To
ye many blessings of ye man here remains was added that of a long life
he having lived to the age of 84 years: a long but to him a glorious
tyme of tryal.
He departed this life ye 22nd of December 1681 in full hopes of a
joyfull Resurrection to a much better.
Erected (as a MONUMENT of true love) by his entirely beloved wife
and sorrowfull widow MRS ELIZABETH ROLLESTON now living in this parish

Memorial Tablet to Samuel Hallifax (West end North aisle)
Translation of the text:
Here near his most dear little son who was some time
snatched away by untimely fate the very reverend Samuel Hallifax LLD and
STP wished his paternal remains to be deposited. Born and instructed in the
first rudiments of learning in this neighborhood he afterwards held the position
of public lecturer and Regius Professor of Civil Law in the University of
Cambridge. Master of Faculties in Doctors Commons, Rector in this church
and Bishop first in the Cathedral Church of Gloucester and afterwards in
that of St Asaph: through all offices he distinguished himself by his
ability, profound learning and wonderful industry, by his unswerving allegiance
to the English Church; by the power and sweetness of his discourses; by the
touching grace and elegance of his writings; and moreover by what he ever
held to be of paramount importance, the uprightness of his life. He was born
at Mansfield Jan 8th 1733 worn out by stone he died a premature death alas!
March 4th 1790 aged 57 yrs. His wife Catherine being left his survivor with
an only son and six daughters has erected this monument as somewhat of a
mournful solace to her grief.
