“the inscription says “Iohn walro[n]d”—so, John Walrond. At least I’m reading the tilde above the “o” as an indicating an abbreviation rather than simple decoration. In any event, the first letter is definitely a “w,” and Walrond is a very old English name with Germanic origins. The hand strikes me as more 17th- than 16th-century, but it can be very hard to date scripts that mix secretary and italic letterforms. I’d say a late 16th-c to mid-17th date is most likely.

And, so—apparently, a John Walrond from Devon matriculated at Oxford in 1600 at the age of 18. He then died in 1602. There’s actually a printed donor bookplate that was commissioned in memory of John Walrond that’s in the collection of Christ Church, Oxford: http://estc.bl.uk/S126663. Might this be your guy?
