Came across this headstone for Hugh Lanyon whilst walking around All Saint's Church in Church Lawton on the Trent & Mersey Canal.
I have done a quick Google search and cannot come across anything else about him but this post may come in handy for somebody.
Inscription reads :
'In
memory of
Hugh Lanyon of Truro,
in the county of Cornwall.
He died at Lawton on the
15th of June, A.D. 1846:
aged 41 years.
He was an Assistant Surveyor to the
Trent and Mersey Company.
As a record of his Zeal in the
discharge of his duties, the
Company have raised this Stone.'.
