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.

The first crossed-out word is Cardington, Hillhouse's main area, near Bedford. It is the site of an airship crash, and balloons for adverts are still made in the vast hangar where they used to be built by the RAF. The next word could be field. A hopeless label for a common plant, my map doesn't show a house called Moravia, though it does show a chapel (Moravian?). The next word doesn't look Czech. Why the last word should be (Bins) I can't tell!

A few gleanings:

Chapel in Cardington was Wesleyan Methodist.

There are records of a Moravian Church in Bedford from 1744.

Bedford still has a Moravian church

Hillhouse has no other specimens from eastern Europe.
