## Question
I have been translating the Latin inscription on a 19th century tomb in the parish churchyard, Mitcham, south west London, UK. I'm using a Latin dictionary and a 'Latin Made Simple' book I bought many years ago, as well as online resources. I have been able to translate the inscription but have a hit a problem in what looks like a duplication.
The tomb is of Richard Cranmer, who died in 1828, and is listed grade 2 by Historic England. In addition, his daughter and widow are in the tomb, and their names are listed below his.
The inscription reads
HIC IACENT
RICARDVS CRANMER LLB HVIVS ECCLESIAE PAROCHVS QVI OBIIT
DIE FESTO OMNIVM SANCTORVM A.D. MDCCCXXVIII AET XLIV
ESTHER MARIA LOVISA CRANMER FILIA EIVSDEM NATV MINOR

ELISABETHA MARIA CRANMER EIVSDEM RCI VIDVA OVAE OBIIT
DIE QVARTODECIMO OMN SANCT NOV XIV A.D. MDCCCXLV AET XLV
REQVIESCANT IN PACE
