Lynn monuments at Southwick church
There are lots of late 17th century and 18th century Lynn (thus spelled) memorials in
St. Mary's church,
Southwick.

Wikimedia Commons.

here.
But none of them pre-date the family of John Lynne.
Rev. Anthony Cade, whose daughter married John Lynne,
was buried at Southwick.
The above is from
pp.436-437
of vol.2 of
The history and antiquities of the county of Leicester, John Nichols, 1795.
Monuments at Southwick church given in
[Bridges, 1791].
Even at that date, it seems there were no visible monuments from before John Lynne.
Note the inscription should read "Walter Johnson".
