I found this growing at the edge of a Cotswold golf club. It was up to 3 feet tall, probably escape/planted?

Looks like Oregon-grape, Mahonia aquifolium. I see it quite often around the Bristol area, but it's usually a relic of former planting - it's well naturalised in the Brecklands of Norfolk, though, so obviously can self-seed pretty easily. |

Agree- it's good at both layering + seeding to spread around. |

Agree its a Mahonia but it looks to have some viral disease.
