At an 'open gardens' event in July I took a cutting of this plant (with
permish!) and it took successfully.
I would like to know what it is.

It's a purple cut-leaved elder. None of the cultivar names in Plant Finder
rings a bell, but Google finds me Sambucus nigra Black Lace, which may be
the cultivar you have. Further googling informs me that that Black Lace is
a sales name for Sambucus nigra 'Eva', which is in Plant Finder.


Thank you Stewart.
