Could this be a meadow brown with it's spot hidden or is it something completely different?

I agree - this is a Meadow Brown.

Thank you (although I'd been far happier if it had been a new one for me!)

The forewing is often tucked away to hide the eyespot when a meadow brown is at rest. It adds camoulflage and to the startle factor if it is disturbed and takes off, showing the spot.
