Thanks for the id suggestions

They all seem to be quite variable in their appearance so I am still not sure which one it is. It was particularly large, larger than the sizes given for all of these species. I did not measure it, but my finger is there for scale. I would say it had a leg span of 40-50mm, but I am not sure of the accepted way of measuring a spider. I certainly would not have contemplated picking it up irrespective of it being harmless. My friends and family find it quite amusing that I don't like spiders, considering my other interests
