Thats a terrifc ID HW - I looked up what it might be in CTW and they have Vicia Faba and then V. Narbonensis which seems to fit for colouration - ''an erect annual with purplish fls, tendrils on the upper lvs only and a pod 5 - 6 cms - occurs as a casual and persists in some localities, similar but smaller than V faba, (which is the cultivated one and persists at field margins).''
Broad bean or horse bean is the common name used. 
Cheers
Ken.

Where did you find it Julie? It would be worth letting your local BSBI recorder know. | | |
