Thomas Merritt (1863-1908), who composed several Christmas carols, including "Hark the Glad Sound! The Saviour Comes" and "Lo! He Comes, an Infant Stranger" was organist at the Methodist church (pictured) from 1889 until his death in 1908. Merritt was born at Illogan,[2] the son of Thomas Merritt; he also composed an oratorio “The Christian Soldier” and a sacred cantata “Shepherd of Israel”.[3][4]
