The lower one is more difficult to read, because it is at roof level on the south side of the property (not visible from public land) and partially concealed by a downpipe. Although the initial P is much less clearly engraved than the remainder of the initials, the husband's initials would again seem to be PGF. After much research it was eventually deciphered as PGF♥RRN, representing Philippe Godfray and Rachel Renaut, who married in Trinity in 1792 and were the parents of the other Philippe
