The Environment Agency have reported 133mm of rain in 7 hours just
inland
from Boscastle. This is the highest figure I've seen so far.

This looks much more realistic ... given that at Slaughterbridge
14mm fell outside the main downpour, that would suggest
115-125mm in 2 hours. My estimate last night was that
100-125mm may have fallen over the catchment as a whole,
possibly with a highest point rainfall of 150mm or more.

(Slaughterbridge is 10km south of the Valency catchment.)

Any location name for this report, Graham?
