STUDENTS will be searching their homes looking for lost treasure after receiving valuable advice to get them started.

Laars Tharpe, the ceramics expert from popular BBC television programme The Antiques Roadshow, popped into St David's School on Tuesday last week (Nov 27) to give its pupils a few tips.

A select handful of high achievers at the all-girls school, which is located in Church Road, Ashford, were delighted to meet Mr Tharpe and pick his brains about how they too could learn to tell the difference between a worthless jug and one of value.
