Can anyone help?

I'm trying to find out more about John Arthur Mease Lomas, a West Somerset artist who lived in Timberscombe in the 1940s and whose gravestone, together with his wife Mary, lies propped up along the wall in St Petroc's graveyard.Mr Lomas had lived and painted in the Porlock area in the 1890s, before his artistic career took off and for the next 20 years, he lived in London and exhibited in the top London galleries.I know little of his life in the 1920s and early 1930s, but he came to Timberscombe sometime in the late 1930s where he lived, and painted, until his death in 1950. He died at Cosy Cot, CowbridgeThe Free Press obituary notice in 1950 mentions that among the mourners was a Mrs Ferris from Timberscombe. I don't suppose there are any members of the Ferris family still living in the village?I have a copy of a letter from Ken Grabham, of Mayfield, Cowbridge, from the 1990s, with a few memories of Mr Lomas. In it, he talks of a Mr Frank Huxtable building in 1939 a wooden bungalow up Great House Street, which became Mr Lomas's studio - it had a large room with a big wondow, clearly ideal for an artist. I don't know Timberscombe too well, but I assume that this Studio is not the same building as Cosy Cot, Cowbridge, where Mr Lomas died.I think Cosy Cot was owned by a Mr Fred Stevens of Minehead; I have tracked down one member of the Stevens family but he was unable to tell me much about Mr Lomas. I wonder if anyone in Timberscombe can help me? Quite likely not, as it was all a long time ago, but if you don't ask....
