Might be one of the willowherbs. Have you a photo of it growing? It helps with ID
In the sticks near Peterborough
DItto or prob a Willowherb.
No sorry took it out however it was growing in semi shade near a rose bush if that helps anyone with ID
And if it is a willow herb is it ok to grow or is it a noxious weed
Weed, sorry. and they grow anywhere.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Oh right that's ok good to know cheers
Not very noxious though and they do pull out easily
Is it worth keeping or chucking away
Chuck it away unless you have a very very large garden and room for a wilderness somewhere - they seed everywhere - little fluffy seeds that drift in the wind and spread and spread and spread! Pretty though - in the right places.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Very invasive
Each spike produces around 100,000 seeds 
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
