Comments & ID Thoughts

Found this in my back garden, would really like to know what it is. It's actually the biggest spider I've seen in the UK ( in the wild )
It measured between 10-15cm long

After a lot of searching I think it belongs to the lace weaver spider species most possibly a female due to the size
