An inscription around the tomb reads, as translated by by William Fowler Carter b. 1856 in his The Quatremains of Oxfordshire 1936, Oxford University Press, and transcribed by Victoria Quarterman:

O certeyn deth that now hast overthrow
Richard Quatremayns Squyer and Sibil his wife that lie here now full (low)
That with rial Princes of Counsel was true and wise famed
To Richard Duke of York and aftur with his sone Kyng Edward the iiiith named
That foundid in the Churche of Thame a chauntrie vi pore men and a fraternytie
In the worship of Seynt Cristfere to be relevid in perpetuyte
(They)that of her almys for thr Soulis a paternoster and (ave) devoutly wul Say
of holy fadurs is grauntid they perdon of dayes forty alwey.
Wiche Richard and Sibil oute of this Worlde passid in the yere of oure Lord A MCCCCLX
Uppon their Soules Ihu haue mercy. Amen
