Bigland's Inscriptions1 notes the following:
Here lieth the Body of Thomas COCKES, alias HAYWARD who died the 15th of May 1620
The death in 1620 is problematic if his will was not written until 1625. William Good posited that the actual memorial date was 1626, but that the final 6 was mis-read as a zero by Bigland (who transcribed the inscription nearly 160 years after they were carved. This seems reasonable to me.
