N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

It seems confusing that Townsend wrote 'Worcestershire' - Tredington 'near Shipston on Stour' is very near Townsend's abode at Honington Hall, Warks. There's also a Tredington S or Tewkesbury, Glos.

They moved it! Apparently in 1931 it was transfered from Worcs to Warks , see HERE , and many other.

Ha! The Collector is always right.
