Confusing label - compare with http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/277345/ from Orford, Surrey; comparison suggests both labels written by E W A (I have not checked other labels for comparison) also collected same month; and this specimens label has been altered from Surrey to Suffolk. But there is no Orford Surrey(??) and if there were, it would not be near the sea (Spartina) so did someone else write these labels - EWA could not have confused what counties he'd visited, and Orford Suffolk is quite memorable.
