Help me identify this plant .. This turned up in the garden last year in a cluster, they stood tall over 2foot high and developed pods that initially made then look like they would produce interesting flowers that never materialised. Any ideas please? I'm guessing it's a weed and tempted to rip them out now.

It's Common Figwort (Scrophularia nodosa), a wild flower with tall spikes of small brownish flowers.
Thanks @tiggrx mine stayed as seed pods. May give it another go then thanks!
There would have to have been flowers to make seed pods. You probably didn't notice them as they are rather insignificant.
#andreaamarie here it is but don't have one of the reddish flowers sorry!
