Default Quince

I'd like to grow a quince (Cydonia) but not sure whether it'd fruit for
me. I'm in Yorkshire, 400ft above sea level, on clay in a slight frost
pocket.

Any ideas?

My parents grew Quince quite successfully only a few miles away from you. We
used to harvest the fruit very late in the year for Quince jelly. I've no
idea which form they grew but it was a relatively small bushy shrub.
