I agree Walton & the year in red print do not refer to the collection, irritatingly; but in this case the sheet is one of a numbered series of this species collected in 1895 eg
http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/287243/
although the locations on this sheet are not explicit about Walton, some can be located there eg 'opposite the Pier' also Walton is a mass of creeks etc (a Swallows & Amazons location). The almost illegible words are 'The Marshes near(e)'.
