Soil not draining enough perhaps? Only way we’ve managed to kill lavender is by pruning it too much.

English lavender is a bit sturdier than French lavender, I’ve found. It does better at surviving a harsh winter. Mine did so well my neighbours complained about it encroaching on their footpath and I had to hack it back.
