Some UK records
Highest 60-min total 92 mm (3.6 in) Maidenhead, Berkshire 12 July 1901

Highest 120-min total 193 mm (7.6 in)Walshaw, W Yorks 19 May 1989

Highest 24-hour total (1800-1800) 341.4 mm (13.44 in)
Honister Pass, Cumbria 5 December 2015

Highest 24-hour total (0900-0900) 279 mm (11.0 in)
Martinstown, Dorset 18 July 1955

What you can be sure of is that on all these occasions it is highly unlikely that the gauge was in the wettest spot.
