Hi Kay
Based in 'sunny' Scotland, where it rains constantly! Thanks for the advice. The tree seems 'sound' but the leave are falling off. In fact there none left on it now. Shame really. The local garden cenre will get a visit.
Thanks again.

Hi all
Just moved into a new house with quite a nice garden. However, there is
a tree that appears to have some sort of disease which has resulted in
black-ish spot on the leaves, leading them to eventually fall off.
From what I see, it's an anthracnose, a fungal disease, of some sort.
Wet spring where you are? That usually makes it worse.
Seek local advice from a good garden center or plant pathology clinic. Most
anthracnoses are more about appearance than real plant health issues, but
there are times when a regional outbreak can do some real damage. As I'm
probably on the other side of the pond from you (I'm in the PNW US), I
really can't advise you much.
Typical anthracnose diseases:
Anthracnose Leaf Blight of Shade Trees, HYG-3048-96
