linguito/linquito was only a suggestion.
There may be others along with their interpretations later.

I can add to the above that she was widowed twice (bisq(ue) maritali devidiata toro), had many grandchildren (nepotes), was steadfast in her faith (viva cadit Domini prisca) and was aged when she died (occubuit ... senex).

But there are several unfamiliar Latin words, some of which I suspect are mistranscribed – e.g. uber should probably be uter (‘each’). Such errors make it hard to produce an accurate or meaningful translation.

Some other points of genealogical interest are contained in the inscription underneath the monument (H. Chauncey, The Historical Antiquities of Hertfordshire, 1826):

Could "Candideore" be translated as white-haired?

Photos of her memorial. She's lost her head.

A tree on Ancestry has her birth as 1520 when her parents were aged 9 and 6, and Judith's last child born 1575 when she would have been 55. A tree on another site has birth c1540 and eldest children born c1546. Maths not a strong point.  ;D

An account of a challenge to a duel 1634. Edmund, Theo and Samuel Aylmer were involved.

Just as well that Judith had gone to meet her maker.  :o

Possibly, but the language here is very poetic. The last line is, perhaps, 'In old age she succumbed to a more resplendent fate'.
