This was also flowering at the base of the prison wall not far from the red dead-nettle. It's Ivy-leaved Speedwell or Veronica hederifolia, its species name deriving from the ivy-shaped leaves (see 19th January). It's a bit like Slender Speedwell but it is hairier and has distinctly palmate veins on the leaves. Compare it with the other speedwell posted on 22nd February - Common Field Speedwell.
