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.

Would this be Lewes V C 14, and cornfield disturbed. Please.

I can't read the last two words, but I'm sure they're not "disturbed, Lewes".
A BES specimen (a duplicate?) of this sp was collected by Ley on 21.8.1882 (a mistranscription of 2.8.1882?) at St Weonards, Herefs and the evidence of his contemporaneous collections doesn't make it likely that Ley was in Sussex on 2.8.82. I don't think it is possible to say where it came from.

Mr Liffen reads the locality as Misterton, Leics and I agree.
