I couldn't read site name - nor could I find any Woods specimens from Norfolk; nor any Townsend specimens from a similar site-name

I see it as Morton Norfolk TG123169 but I can't explain the out-of range collector.

There's now also http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/381107/ from Norfolk (earlier the same year, labelled in Woods own handwriting, this one being in Townsend's I think). It's from Bedington, which is SW of Norwich; Morton is NW of Norwich - or could it be Hoveton - which is NE of Norwich! Searching Townsend sheets from Norfolk didn't help either!

I read it as 'Houton' which I thought might be a corruption of 'Houghton'.

I hope to have more SLBI images soon, so maybe another sheets can shed light on this.
