No, Chris, here is a horse chestnut.

They have quite different leaf arrangements as well.
Do a "wikipedia" on Aesculus hippocastanum (horse)
and on Castanea sativa (sweet)
We will be roasting some of these to eat now that I have ( finally) found
good light and the time to take a series of shots.
Thanks for your comment, and also thanks to C.H. L. for his comment :-)
Thanks for looking.
Brian Swale.
