Plants
This is in my mother's garden. She thinks she planted it many years ago but can't remember what it is.

That looks like a X Fatshedera
https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/51972/x-Fatshedera-lizei/Details
It’s a cross between a Fatsia japonica and Ivy (Hedera helix).
Slightly tender ... often grown as a houseplant as well as in sheltered gardens.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Thanks
@Dovefromabove
but I'm not sure. The leaves don't seem to be palmate but individual ovate leaves all coming from ths same point. The rhs picture shows a different leaf structure.

The way it is growing, I'm thinking a type of Euonymus Japonicus. There are some flowers on the left that look like Euonymus flowers. Could be wrong.

Ah, yes, that seems a good call. A euonymous of some variety anyway. Thanks

Agree with Borderline.... definitely Euonymus japonicus .. has tiny white 4 petal flowers.

Followed by interesting seed capsules with red seeds inside.

Euonymus are underrated as garden shrubs.

Thanks
@Silver surfer
. I have a variegated euonymus in my garden so should have at least got close to identifying this!
