Born the son of a Langport coal merchant, Henry came to Weston aged 18 and subsequently became a successful entrepreneur and property developer.
He was also a great benefactor who helped fund the Italian and Winter Gardens, and almost singlehandedly raised £60,000 (£3.5 million today) to build a new hospital in the Boulevard.
He became Weston’s first mayor in 1937.
