LYNNE (WALTER), bookseller in London, was a native of the Low Countries and had settled in England before 1540. In 1541 and 1544 he is mentioned in the Subsidy Rolls as living in Billingsgate Ward and his goods were valued at twenty shillings. [R. of A., I, 61, 85.] In 1547 he is again mentioned and his goods had increased to eight pounds in value. [R. of A., I, 134.] In this same year he began to issue books, all of a theological character and by 1550 had published some two dozen books printed for him principally by N. Hill { [[HILL, Nicholas ( - 1557) ‹ LBT 28420 ›]] }, R. Jugge { [[JUGGE, Richard ( - 1577) ‹ LBT 07912 ›]] }, J. Hertford { [[HERFORD, John ( - 1548) ‹ LBT 28417 ›]] } and John Day { [[DAY, John (1522 - 1584) ‹ LBT 07316 ›]] }. He does not appear to have been a printer himself but busied himself as a translator, "being one that spendeth all hys time in the settynge forth of bokes in the Englysshe tounge" as he says in the preface to ''Carion's Chronicles''. In 1549 he was taxed twenty shillings on goods worth ten pounds, and his servant Adrian Turner [or De Tolna]{ [[TURNER, Adrian ‹ LBT 30107 ›]] } was taxed eight pence. Lynne's dwelling-house was on Sommers Key, Billingsgate, but he had also a shop in St. Paul's Churchyard, next the great school, at the sign of the Spread Eagle, and used as a device in his books a ram and a goat with the initials W. L. He appears to have issued no books after 1550 but he is mentioned in the Registers of the Dutch Church in 1551 "Wauter Lint, met Anna. { [[LYNNE, Anna ‹ LBT 06411 ›]] }" In 1551 the shop in St. Paul's Churchyard with the sign of the Spread Eagle was in the occupation of John Gybkyn { [[GYBKYN, John ( - 1586) ‹ LBT 28268 ›]] }. In 1567 "WaIter Lyn, and his wyf" are mentioned in the account of strangers and he is spoken of as not a denizen and having resided for thirty years. [R. of A, I, 331.] In the two returns of 1571 we find Annys Lin or Lyne, widow,of the Dutch nation, born in Zeland, hath been in England and in this Ward [Billingsgate] thirty years. [R. of A, I, 443; II, 70. ''D.N.B.'']
