I visited Acorn Bank (NT) up in Cumbria towards to the end of April, and
came across a plant that I couldn't place. I'm not sure whether it was
meant to be there, or arrived under it's own steam.

Anyone recognise it?

There was also in the woodland garden there (and I presume wild) a
marginal plant that is reasonably common, but which I've never pinned
down.

While I'm asking questions, there's also this aquatic plant photographed
in a canal backwater last month.

I know the first one as Golden Saxifrage, which, for me, is a good
enough name for it. It appeared in my garden a few years ago and now
seeds itself everywhere, but as it is so pretty I largely leave it
alone.
The second I think is what I call starweed, which becomes a menace
when it gets established on top of pots.
Can't give botanical names.

Did you mean the 3rd, which Des suspects of being a water-starwort?
Unfortunately the predominant meanings of starweed - if one believes
Google - are Stellaria media (chickweed) and Plantago triandra (a New
Zealand plantain).
