and you can see it says (approximating as much as this keyboard
permits) "In The Yere of ower lord god M CCCCC XL and V & in the XXXVI
yere of Kyg hery the VIII on whose Solle God have mercy", both of
those dates suggesting 1545/6 rather than 1544/5.

In fact I think 36 Henry VIII *is* 1544/5, so there's an internal
inconsistency there if the engraving is accurate; however, the burial
record can probably be considered a more immediate source than the
inscription, so 1544/5 is currently to be favoured. I've looked
through a range of secondary sources, which vary from 1542 to 1550,
most just saying 1545 with no month or day.
