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.

Anyone know where Beaumonts Hay is? Witts H@H specimens are nearly all from the Glos Cotswolds or not too far distant

W D = W A Dutt? http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/260498/ provides a handwriting sample, though not that similar

There is a document from Plantlife [pdf] which suggests OS SP12 (so VC 33 East Gloucs.) and has a photo on page 23. Beaumonts Hay is part of Brassey Reserve And Windrush Valley SSSI. Part of this is railway cutting/embankment next to a suspiciously similar name of Bowman's Hay OS SP139217!
