English: Canting arms of Rev. Henry Luxmore (born 1793, Bridestowe, Devon), Vicar of Barnstaple 1820-60 (Chanter, p.100), sculpted to the left of the doorway of Barnstaple Vicarage, Barnstaple, Devon, England. He added to and restored (Chanter, p.51) the ancient vicarage, previously rebuilt by Rev. Martin Blake, during the Civil War (Chanter, p.51). In 1860 he resigned his position and became Rector of Everdon, Northamptonshire. Blazon: Argent, two chevronells gules between three moorcocks close proper. (Burke's Landed Gentry, 1937, p.1440).
Henry Luxmoore appears to have been a descendant of John Luxmoore (d.1742) who married the heiress Mary Coryndon, daughter of Thomas Coryndon (d.1714), who in his will bequeathed the great tithes of Broadwoodwidger and Germansweek to his son-in-law John Luxmoore and these were held by the Luxmoore family until 1907.[1]. A ledger-stone in Bratton Clovelly Church, Devon, of John Luxmore (1632-1674) and his wife Temperance, displays the Luxmore arms sculpted in relief. John Luxmoore (1692-1750) of Witherdon and of Northmore House (now the Town Hall), Okehampton, an Attorney-at-Law, the owner of Okehampton Castle, was the Assay-Master of Tin for the Duchy of Cornwall. On the right-hand side of the vicarage door, matching the Luxmore arms, are sculpted the arms of the See of Exeter, within which is situated the parish of Barnstaple. Rev. Henry Luxmore was the defendant in a notorious breach of promise court case brought against him by Elizabeth Irwin, whom in 1826 he had promised to marry but instead, on 7th June 1838 at Barnstaple Church, he was married by his father Rev Coryndon Luxmore, (Trewman's Exeter Flying Post or Plymouth and Cornish Advertiser (Exeter, England), Thursday, June 14, 1838[2]) to Mary Jane Noble (born 1810), a daughter of Rear Admiral James Noble (1774–1851),[3] one of Lord Nelson's admirals.[4] (Source: Hughes, Tom, Blame it on the Devon Vicar: The Curious Conduct of Curates and Clergymen 2009[5]) Sources: Chanter, J.R., Memorials Descriptive and Historical, of the Church of St Peter, Barnstaple, with its other ecclesiastical antiquities, and an account of the conventual church of St Mary Magdalene, recently discovered. Barnstaple, 1882. 1861 Census for Everdon Northants: Rev Henry Luxmore, 68, Rector of Everdon, Caroline 51 sister both born Bridestowe Devon, wife Mary J 51 born Bishops Teignton.[6] |
