Could be Scilla litardierei, in that case. According to Anna Pavord it flowers in late April and since we've had such a cold Spring it could well be that it flowered later than it normally does or should do.
I think they're lovely and having seen these, I'm going to order some for my own garden, as well as the Prospero ( love the name). Thanks for showing them, Norman D!
Too busy to respond yesterday. Googling the Scilla, I feel it has a more dense inflorescence than my plant. Addict, I am coming round to your earlier idea of a camassia, although an American webpage described scilloides as having 3 ft flower spikes, which is more than twice the size of mine. Sorry you'll need to wait till next year for a more detailed pic.

Ah, I missed that Nutcutlet, thanks for letting me know. I'll have another look in the book then.

Just googled S. litardierei and it looks a strong contender.
In the sticks near Peterborough
It does indeed.
NormanD Could you take a close up picture of the open flowers at the top?
Thanks All
