    I kept well away from this up till now.
    It needed more research.
    I agree it is Campanula sp...but which one? Hmm! They all look so alike.

    There seem to be 2 main contenders.
    I have now looked them up...in
    "Campanula A Gardeners Guide" by Peter Lewis and Margaret Lynch........and can try to give simple/easy tip.

    Campanula Latifolia ..quote..."both leaf and stem are slightly hairy."
    whilst.
    Campanula pyramidalis ..quote "is glabrous"...ie without hairs.

    I cannot see any evidence of hairs, so am opting for Campanula pyradimalis.
    Hope this helps
    But I may be wrong!

          Thank you so much! There are definitely no hairs in the leaves. I will make sure I make a note of its name now! :-))
