Hi Steve,
the photo is not good enough for me to identify this beetle to the species. I can tell, that it is family Chrysomelidae (Leaf beetles) and I guess genus Chrysolina (in former times Chrysomela).
It would be helpful to have some informations about the locality where you found it. It looks a bit like Chrysolina banksii, but this one appears in the south of Europe, but not in Britain.
Regards
Klaas

I'm pretty sure the image is C.banksi, it is a fairly distinctive large Chrysomelid. The UK distribution can be seen here NBN Gateway - interactive species mapper |

Possibly a system problem or they have it off line for maintainance at present. |
