There has been much speculation about the much revered James Lovatt among former CCBS pupils on the Facebook site and a general idea that he retired to the Exeter district. The original M28 (ie the M28 before me – Trev Teasdel who started the school in 1962) sent an email to this site with a photo from the Exeter and District Organists association site.
