Did anybody else see our member Bruce Buchanan's appearance on the antiques

programme on TV ? He was questioned about the work of Father Willis.

He even sported a bow tie-something usually associated with another member of the Willis family.

I didn’t see the programme.  Can you be a bit more specific, which one, in case it is repeated?

I think you probably refer to Henry Willis 4, but I have to say that I have equally never seen a photograph of his father Henry Willis III or, indeed, Bruce Buchanan himself wearing other than a bow tie - a distinctive feature of all of them.

There should be a title for this!  Willis bow tie tradition, perhaps?

I saw the programme "Antiques Road Trip" on  August 26th. Featured was the Father Willis in the URC church in Marlow.

Indeed. I think he appeared in one of Howard Goodall's programmes
