Where is the paddock?
It is in South Wales
It's the Bastard Balm ... Melittis melissophyllum .... a bit of a rarity and one of the few places it's found nowadays is South West Wales.
Something quite special ... https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/discover-wild-plants-nature/plant-fungi-species/bastard-balm
Lots of medicinal properties.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
