Apparently these spiders came over in banana boats 200 years ago and, up till recently, have mainly been localted in Dorset. Now, with warmer winters, they are multiplying like nobody's business. Their sting is not fatal, but is very painful and can put you in hospital. They are about the size of a pea and live in sheds, on wall, in the bark of trees, and like gardening gloves! I've never been that keen on gardiening but this is really off putting.
