It looks as if it could be Philadelphus Belle Etoile. Was it sweetly scented, as one of its other names is Mock Orange because of its scent.
No scent, I think I would recognise it if it was philadelpus.
but thanks for the input.
No where near a Philadelphus.
My first thought was quince, but I think they have five petals ... :-/
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'd go with Medlar. I think.
Medlar? Looks the same to me.
Oh lordy it's gone all giant but you get the idea.
If you open pic in a new tab it goes back to normal.

Medlar for me as well
In the sticks near Peterborough
Oh you clever people, I've just googled Medlar and that's it ?
Thankyou soooooo much.
What an odd looking shrub!
I've seen the fruit before (my father-in-law's cousin shared his) but not the tree. Nice.
