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.

'Westfield Wood' is to be found in both Lincs and N Yorks; I didn't manage to find whether either was favoured by Churchill

Given Churchill's other similarly labelled sheets from this time are from Harpenden and Tring, I am taking this as Westfield Wood on the N edge of Harpenden, TL131159 - zoom in on map to see
