Oct 27 19:38:45 webserver systemd[1]: Starting The Apache HTTP Server... Oct 27 19:38:45 webserver apachectl[9629]: apache2: Syntax error on line 225 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Sy
This is the error that's preventing Apache from running, on "line 225 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf", it looks as if you have truncated the full error message (unless that was me).
Anyway, show us that line (and a few lines aroun d it for context) and I'm sure someone will be able to tell you what's wrong.
There may be more/better information about the apache configuration error in the apache error log at /var/log/apache/error.log.

Hospital today (only day surgery, no big deal). Back to the IT tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Just had a quick look at /var/log/apache2/... There is error.log which is empty, error.log.1 dated April 2018 (which is probably when I set up the server). and a lot of error.log.x.gz where x ranges from 2 to 14. I 'gunzipped' 14 and that too is from April 2018.
I hadn't realized the error was truncated, the terminal window doesn't line wrap and it goes on and on and...
I'll paste it below:

I checked and /etc/letsencrypt doesn't exist. I assume it used to because I did set up https using Letsencrypt, though 18 months later I can't recall the details!
