Not certain this IS a Clematis but.....growing up the garden-facing front
at
Knightshayes was a very well-established climber with pinkish stems when
mature and small more-grey-than-green, 3 lobed leaves. The centre lobe is
longer than the others and each lobe is slightly indented itself two or
three times. The whole leaf is small, no more than about 3/4 inch in
length. No flower description I'm afraid.

Not a lot to go on! How was it climbing? I am racking my brains for
suggestions that Ray (who I assume was with you) will not have recognised.
When you say 3 lobed do you mean that, or 3 leaflets?
Doesn't sound very clematis like, but could be one of the New Zealand sorts.
What about one of the Ampelopsis or Kennedia's
