Notes: 

Looking at this wall mural   - one would think that there is no inscription, however, put the cursor on the middle [ box ] shape and you will see that there is in fact some writing there - with the aid of the torch we could read alot of it, however, as it is in Latin - we are open to correction.

Above translated as:

"Here lies the body of Robert Tynte golden soldier, of the royal council of this province, the fifth son of Edmund Tynte of wrexhall, county Somerset, of the English army, who won the honor of his sword.  This church and tomb he had made, with the providence of Almighty God in the year of the Lord 1636.
