I have no further information, but think Wortleberry/Whortleberry was probably at Foxhams from 1916 until about 1920.

From Eden Phillpott’s The Mother
“ …. There spread a glow of genial russet amid the rocks, and the whortle put on the red of life – a hue very different to the red of death that autumn summons.”
