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.

Petherton Marsh was in parish of Alderney putting it near N Petherton, but can't track down which of the remaining marshes it might have been... any ideas?

There is a Marsh Lane in North Petherton, alongside the A38.
