It appears you can submit corrections at Findagrave, though you need an account to do so.

Yes, you can submit corrections, but the manager of the memorial at Findagrave can reject the edit.
In my experience the majority of the managers are pleased to receive the information, but I have had a couple of gnarly ones who refused to accept the edit because they said it didn't agree with their information.

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.
