I'd suggest Pseudophyllites indra as a likely ID.  The shell form and degree of involution are consistent with that ID.  Also this species is commonly preserved with a brownish shell material at Hornby, a little different from the other ammonites that have more of a mother-of-pearl nacre.

Oops! I forgot to put in the name :blush: Thanks to you Don, I've now not only got the genus, but also the species.
