Holwood comes up as Kent in gazzeteer

All the references I find to Holwood Park, eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holwood_House place it definitely at Keston, the Surrey border isn't so very distant, but no way would the Park reach it.

I suspect mis-labelling, either wrong county transcribed, or I wonder whether Holmwood Park was intended; south of Dorking and of Holmwood Common at TQ178448. I couldn't find any other specimens that month nearer than Effingham, so suspect we'll never know?
