Thanks to all for your advice etc.
I have now hacked it right back to about a foot or so, and will give it
some garden compost later, but should that be sooner?

If it is L. japonica or L. periclymenum (the most common ones), then
it doesn't make a damn of difference. They are as tough as old
boots and will thrive in very poor soil (as well as rich soil).
