Folly by Mary Hampton.

(Not sure if this album would count, but I guess you might just about describe this as English Roots. It's not Trad stuff, by any means, but original songs from a songwriter who clearly knows her English ballads)

Oh, also, Ego Trip by Macdara o Raghallaigh (great solo fiddling)

Yes, I think I'd have to go for Ragged Kingdom as well, although Blair Dunlop's EP, Bags Outside the Door, comes a close second.
