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.

Although written Hancott by WA Leighton in Flora of Shropshire, where it is decribed as two miles north of Shrewsbury, I think this is mapped as Hencott Pool centred on OS SJ491160 (zoom in):


OS Grid reference SJ491160

Looks fair to me - I've edited in. Could be Leighton's handwriting too; and Townsend has numerous of his Shrewsbury specimens
