Any evidence of insect predation such as shot holes where eggs may have been deposited?  Is the browning widespread or just at low levels?

It could be as simple as frost damage/windburn, salt spray if near the road. Could do with more photos and you having a good look to see what you can see yourself, before even beginning to hazard a diagnosis.

 

Where are you situated, if it's North America first thoughts would be the spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) which kills millions of trees annually, but I don't think that's a problem in the UK. :thumbup:  We just have this little beauty  which unless you're next to a lot of spruce woodland is probably unlikely.
