Was this a Quadrantid?
I would have thought a late one given the narrow QUA peak , but need to track back to see proximity to radiant. With recordings from a wide swathe of England & Wales there should be good flight trajectory to be calculated.
This was a slow-moving sporadic. See GMN analysis on UKMON website: https://archive.ukmeteornetwork.co.uk/reports/2023/orbits/202301/20230109/20230109_200123.491_UK/index.html
A very nice event. I got it on two cameras from Chelmsford:

Combining the data from Nick James and Nick Quinn we provisionally find that the meteor was a slow sporadic (Vg ~10 km/s) with an absolute mag of about -2.
Plots of ground track, radiant and orbit attached.Alex.
