Hi David. It isn't a spider, but a Harvestman - Dicranopalpus ramosus. I did a post about them on the FEET members blog not long ago. I got some nice photos of one by my door. They are very common at Cromwell Bottom. First noted in Bournemouth in 1957, they came from Morocco, now listed as frequent in the UK. Their resting leg position is unique the them. Take a look here:

Look for the yellow link of electron micro-graphs lower down the page, their Pedipalps are quite amazing.
By the way, I left you a comment on my Willow Beauty post.
I've just cross-posted my Harvestman - Dicranopalpus ramosus post to my own blog:
