Victoria Wood Children: Meet Henry Durham & Grace Durham

Victoria Wood CBE English comedian, actress, lyricist, singer, composer, pianist, screenwriter, producer and director was the mother of Henry Durham and Grace Durham.

Henry Durham was born on born 2 May 1992 and Grace was born on 1 October 1988. Grace is a mezzo-soprano member of the Glyndebourne Opera chorus.

Henry, her son, is also a musician. He dropped out of university after being offered a job in music and began writing songs.

Following her mother’s death, Grace stated that Victoria only reluctantly told people about her illness and would have preferred to keep even the cancer battle private.

“She shared what she had to, but if she had the choice, I think she would have shared none of it,” she said.

Over several decades, Wood wrote and starred in dozens of sketches, plays, musicals, films, and sitcoms, and her live comedy act was interspersed with her compositions, which she performed at the piano.

Wood was diagnosed with oesophagal cancer in late 2015, but she kept her illness largely private. She died on April 20, 2016, at her home in Highgate, in the presence of her children and ex-husband.
