'Widdington, Camb' - but the only Widdington seems to be in Essex, far south of Saffron Walden; there are currently no Hall specimens from Essex, and none of the 3 from Cambs has anything in common

Widdington in Essex is however on the River Cam (aka Granta) and so I suspect 'Camb' on the label of being a mistranscription
