Looks a bit like a foxglove or possibly a verbascum - whatever it is it looks as if it'll be flowering soon so that'll give you a better opportunity to identify it - if it's something you don't want to spread just pull it up before it seeds.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I would say it is definitely a foxglove - and it looks as if the bud is just forming. I love them and they self seed easily. They grow one year and flower the next, so look out for babies later this year and, if necessary, move them to where you want them.
Thank you all for identifying them, I have 4 in a row at the edge of my rockery and another looks like it's coming up in my planted barrell, I thought they looked to nice to be a weed! They weren't there last year though so strange if they are flowering straight away this year.
I have just googled it and the leaves do look the same, I look forward to a bit of colour in that part of the garden soon then.

Yes, I agree wih Dovefromabove - I think it's a foxglove. Should be flowering in June.

The bees will love them as well.
