DR NICK BARRATT |
Sunday 25th April 2pm

The second half of the event will be an Ask The Expertsession with Dr Jill Barber, Director of Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies joining Nick to answer audience questions relating to their own family or local history researches.
Having started his career as a BBC researcher Nick is now not only a TV presenter but a prolific reviewer and commentator on all aspects of history, notably family history. He has worked with a variety of companies, celebrities and TV presenters often compiling their family history. From Richard Bacon to Richard Hammond, Victoria Beckham to Catherine Zeta Jones, Nick’s research has been used for all features of publicity.
