I can confirm that neither Sir Walter Blount or his wife Dame Sancha de Ayala were buried in Newark. Both were buried in Leicester at St Mary Collegiate Church (de newarke (meaning new work)). This church was demolished and De Montfort University now stands on the site. I have been unable, so far, to locate or find what happened to their remains. The photos shown online at various ancestry sites is of two of his sons. One is at Warwick Cathedral and the other is in York Minster. I hope to go to York Minster soon to confirm who is there.
