All from here:

The book is worth every penny and goes with me on all UK dive trips.

I thought that myself, but the link above describes them as a northern species, so I would imagine that Chesil Cove is too far South...

I think of all those posted the one that comes closest is Coryphella Verrucosa. I found a very similar photo to your ones here:
