It could be Campanula Poscharskyana.

oh no that's not it the leaves are much bigger about 5cm in width
Looks like Geum urbanum (wood avens) to me, just before it sends up flowering stems. I can't get rid of the damn stuff from my garden.
Apologies, if leaves are over 5cms, it's unlikely to be a Campanula.

I think we have a winner.... after more googling I think this may be the one. Will see when it flowers.
I love the leaves so will leave it be
thanks for all you replies
Have a look at some Geums ... Similar leaves, gorgeous flowers and doesn't spread so invasive ly.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It looks like a geum, if you didn't plant it, then it's Geum urbanum, a hugely self seeding weed. The moment an insignificant little yellow flower appears, whip it out before it seeds.
