Funeral Services in Harrogate, North Yorkshire
At the age of 21, Henry Claude Townsend completed a 7 year apprenticeship and was offered 3d an hour extra pay by his employer. However, his father, Joseph Henry felt that he was under valued for such a talented young craftsman, and so encouraged Henry Claude to set up his own joinery business, where coffin manufacture and funerals soon became part of the work, and H. C. Townsend was established, in 1927. Kenneth Brian, only child of Claude and Beatrice (Kitty) joined the business on completion of his education at Harrogate Grammar School, in 1952.
