File:Luxmoore Arms, 20thC - Stafford Barton, Dolton, Devon.jpg

English: Canting arms of Charles Frederick Coryndon Luxmoore: Argent, two chevronells gules between three moorcocks close proper a bordure embattled of the first bezantée. Stained glass window in the plastered ceiling room, Stafford Barton, Dolton, Devon, which house in 1912 Charles Frederick Coryndon Luxmoore purchased and substantially remodelled. The birds are blazoned in Burke's Landed Gentry, p.1440 as moorcocks (ie Black Grouse) but appear to be depicted here as moorhens, a totally different bird. Also the BLG blazon gives a bordure nebuly sable charged with eight bezants, which (apart from the bezants) is not depicted in this image. Bordures bezantée generally indicate a connection with the Duchy of Cornwall, and Luxmoore's ancestor 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. The common ancestor John Luxmoore (d.1742) 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. A ledger-stone in Bratton Clovelly Church, Devon, of John Luxmore (1632-1674) and his wife Temperance, displays the Luxmore arms sculpted in relief.
