While most plants suffer from over-watering, I do wonder if these have
been
under-watered, given the sort of weather we've had until recently.
Hydrangeas like a LOT of watering - just think 'hydra'! ;-) But that
doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to drain between waterings. And
things
in pots dry out faster that things in the ground.

As I said, I gave those plants and others a good watering on Thursday
evening, altho' they had not had any water for a week previous, so it is
possible underwatering then as you say.

Thanks

Ah, that does sound rather like it, given pots and the weather combined.
Ours which are some years old and in the ground were flagging very badly
last week and had to be watered copiously.
