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 can only find a broadmoor farm in VC 34 but it lies near to Clapton on the hill HJR gives VC 34 but Clapton on the hill is in VC 33

If Riddelsdell says Broadmoor is in vc34 it can't be in vc33. After all he was one of the triumvirate (Riddelsdell, Hedley & Price) who wrote Flora of Gloucestershire (1948). That work places Broadmoor at SO6415 near Cinderford.
