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.

I am not convinced that I have read the site correctly.

I think this must be Poston Lodge, Vowchurch, Herefs vc 36. The Poston Estate was acquired by the Robinsons by marriage. An earlier Robinson was Master Gardener to King George III. Vowchurch is very much in Rev A Ley country.
