We're in 1677....I can make out Henry, and buried December 25, but could someone help me with the last name? I'm stumped, between the light ink and the flourish in the name above! Thank you!

It might be
Evertan
. But I'm unsure of the last two letters.
Does that surname, or perhaps
Everton
, appear elsewhere in the parish?

Yes! I found an Evertan/ton, so I think that's it. Thank you so much - funny how your eyes just don't work until someone points it out to you, and then you can't see anything BUT that name.
