- Only the first letter ('M'), and a part of the second, possibly 'e', is visible in the PR image on FMP for her marriage, the rest hidden in the fold in the centre of the register, whilst checking for the chldren of Anthony Tor (named as her father in her marriage entry) none is shown as beginning with an M (index on FMP), but the name is illegible for a daughter baptised in 1654.
From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 13 Jul 2021)
"[wording invisible] daughter of Antony Tor was [wording invisible] eaghth day of June" - under heading '1654 '
Although the name is now invisible, the PR must have been in better condition when the DCRS transcription was made, as it includes the Christian name - Mary.
Gender Female Died - Probably died during the gap in burial records, between 20 Aug 1693 and her husband probably remarrying in Sep 1694.
However, if I am wrong about that marriage being her husband then her burial would have been that in 1727 which I assign to her husband's suggested 2nd wife.

"Thomas Hammett son of Andrew Hammett and M[rest of name hidden in centre fold of register] Tor daughter ^ of Antony Tor weare married the xx3th of June"
Thomas's family is not clear. It seems to me highly probable that Joseph was his son, despite the lack of a baptism record (see Joseph's birth notes for my thinking).
Thomasin is almost certainly his daughter or that of his brother Andrew.
Mary is unambiguously his.
But then there is Richard. a 14 year gap would be unusal but not impossible, and Mary Tor would have been towards the end of her child bearing years but at 46 it would not have been exceptional.
But could she have died and Thomas remarried? If his name had been mis-recorded as Emet rather than Hammett then there is a marriage in 1694 which could well be his. (there were Emets in the parish, and their name was not normally confused with that of the Hammett family, but there was obviously the potential to do so). However, I have not found a burial that could be that of his wife Mary née Tor. Since the 1694 marraige was also to a Mary the burial of a Mary who was probably his wife in 1627 could have been that of either.
(Richard bap 1699/1700 was clearly a Hammett alias Cleave, and not an Emet - the true Emet family do not seem to have used the alias - so his baptism can't be considered to be a mis-recording of an Emet as a Hammett)
There is a gap in the burial register between 20 Aug 1693 and 8 Apr 1697. I think it probable that Mary née Tor died in 1693 or 4. It was common then for remarriages to take place within a few months of a death.
