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.

J.J.Bennett was collecting in Norfolk in 1820. Could this be from Denton in Norfolk? J.Hewitt (SLBI)

There's another Pocock specimen in h@h, its the same month, from 'White Hill Field'. There are very many Dentons in Britain

This specimen is without doubt from Denton, Near Gravesend, Kent.
Robert Pocock, (1760-1830) lived in Gravesend. There are herbarium specimens collected by him in the Natural History Museum, London-which are currently (in 2013) the subject of research by Kent naturalists.
He is perhaps one of the few botanist/naturalists with a Public House named after him (in Gravesend)- though he was best known as printer/
publisher.

And I see there's a Whitehill nearby around TQ654722
