For Harry has spent 21 years on 'The Antiques Roadshow' has spent 21 years on 'The Antiques Roadshow' and has plenty of tales to entertain you.
Henry, who has spent 21 years on 'The Antiques Roadshow', was born into a professional music and artistic family in London. After Army service and study at the Guildhall School of Music, he went to Worcester to sing in the cathedral choir, teach at the Royal Grammar School, conduct and broadcast.
But his life changed damatically after the finding of Medieval and Roman pottery in his garden which led to him becoming a 'potaholic.' He was appointed curator of the Worcester Porcelain Company and the Dyson Perrins Museum, a post he held for 17 years, and carried out a series of important archaeological excavations, as well as writing a number of books on the subject.
A friendship with Arthur Negus led to appearances on television programmes such as 'Going for a Song', 'Collectors World' and 'Arthur Negus Enjoys', which blossomed into the enormously popular series, 'The Antiques Roadshow' which is now in its 21st year.
Henry has also appeared many times on 'The Great Antiques Hunt' and has presented the long-running BBC series, 'Songs of Praise.
