| Description: |
Tom Troake spent his early years in a vicarage near Cullompton, where his parents worked for the curate. He was 12 when they came to Dulverton, to the Northmoor estate. They moved to Brushford six years later. An only child, music was his passion. He learnt the organ when he was six, and was still a teenager when he started playing for Brushford and Dulverton churches, whatever denomination. He says they were all the same.
