" Edward Ellis Vinnicombe arrived in the market town of Sudbury in November 1901. He had been born on 14th September, 1874 into a highly musical family. His great uncle, Thomas Horne Vinnicombe was an organist. His great-aunt Phoebe married the Exeter organ builder, Philip Dicker. His aunt Maria was a popular local pianist and his sister Elsie travelled the world as a singer. E. E. Vinnicombe s grandfather, John Pewtner Vinnicombe II was an organist who trained in piano manufacture at the London factory of Clementi and, having done so, moved back to his native Exeter and started the family business as music sellers and tuners. In time they owned several shops in and around Exeter . E. E. Vinnicombe s father, Edward Moxhay Vinnicombe was an able organist, holding the post at the church of St. Michael in Mount Dinham, Exeter. This church was the undoubted flagship of the Tractarian movement in Devon and Edward Ellis would have grown up rooted in that tradition, which he would regain years later in Sudbury. On one census return Edward Moxhay styled himself as Professor of Music . He certainly acted as one of the assistant organists at the cathedral. Young Edward became a chorister at Exeter cathedral and was later articled as apprentice to Dr. Daniel Joseph Wood, organist at the cathedral. However, before the apprenticeship had been fully served, Edward left the cathedral to become organist at Chagford where his own relative H. P. Dicker had built the organ some forty years earlier. Edward became an ARCO in 1898 and a Fellow in 1900. Edward became an ARCO in 1898 and a Fellow in 1900. What, it may be asked, enticed him, as a young man in his mid-twenties, to leave family and friends and come to Sudbury St Peter? " - See Suffolk Organists Association 2011 .
