    Looks a lot like foxgloves' flowering spikes. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    that was our thoughts it is close to a foxglove plant but the leaves very bushy and the stems are red ? look totally different

    The darker-flowered foxgloves tend to have more red/purple in the stems and leaf veins than the lighter pink and the white ones, so maybe you've got a really dark one there.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
