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.

I haven't succeeded in locating Helbury Hill. Lees has collections on H@H from Worcs, Glos & Glam.

quote
Until within the last few years a wood ran up to one side of
the hill. In the British time the camp was most probably sur-
rounded by a forest, like Gadbury Banks, before described.
Elbury Hill is called Ellbury Wood in Isaac Taylor's map of 1772,
Helbury Hill, in the " Stranger's Guide to Worcester*,'" and like-
wise in the "Worcester Miscellany f," and Elbury Hill* in the
Ordnance Map.
