However there is a large NT house on the Devon/Cornwall border [can't
remember its name] with a specimen/variety that is exceptionally
splendid~
with heads similar to H. macrophylla. I have never seen this elsewhere
or
heard/read of it at all. Have never understood why!

I wonder if you're thinking of Lanhydrock House? The climber up one of
the
fronts of that is Pileostegia viburnoides. It's on the left as you're
looking at the house front.
