Lovell-Hewitt captained the county until 1939, by which point he had appeared in 98 Minor Counties Championship matches.[1] Lovell-Hewitt made three appearances in first-class cricket, all for a combined Minor Counties team, debuting against Oxford University in 1938, before making a second appearance against the same opposition in 1939, as well as appearing against the touring West Indians in that season.[2] Lovell-Hewitt scored 175 runs in his three first-class appearances, averaging 35.00, and top-scoring with 92.[3] This score came against Oxford University in 1939, with him also making a second half century in the match with 69.[4] He captained the Minor Counties in all three of his matches.
He died at Woodcote Park, Coulsdon, Surrey on 5 October 1984.
