File:Lynn (of Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire) arms.png

English: Arms of Lynn of Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire: Gules, a demi-lion rampant argent a bordure sable bezantée, per Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.633. Also arms of Lynn of Exeter, Devon (Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.542). Burke states these as the arms of William Lynn of Bassingbourn and of his brother John Lynn of Exeter, both sons of John Lynn of Bassingbourn. This is apparently a difference of the arms of Lynn of Southwick Hall, 11 miles SW of Peterborough, Northamptonshire, which family resided there between 1442 and 1840, whose arms are: Gules, a demi-lion rampant or (Robson, Thomas, The British Herald), given by Burke, p.633 as: Gyronny of eight or and gules, a demi-lion rampant ermine charged on the shoulder with a martlet gules within an orle of eight annulets counterchanged, also the arms of Lynn of Woodbridge, Suffolk.
