Parish History

The Imperial Gazetteer of England & Wales 1870

LUXULION, or LUXULYAN, a village and a parish in Bodmin district, Cornwall. The village stands 4 miles WSW of Lostwithiel r. station, and 6 S by W of Bodmin; and has a post office under Bodmin, and fairs on 2 July and 7 Oct. The parish comprises 5,354 acres. Real property, £3,945; of which £47 are in mines. Pop. in 1851, 1,439; in 1861, 1,329. Houses, 275. The decrease of pop. arose partly from decline in the working of granite and stream-tin. The property is divided among a few.

Prideaux is the seat of Sir Rashleigh, Bart.; occupies the site of a castle, said to have been built before the Norman conquest; and is itself an ancient quadrangular edifice, with stairs of granite. Prideaux Warren, on a height adjoining the mansion, is the vestige of an ancient earthwork. Granite quarries have long been worked; and a branch railway goes from them to a line of mineral railway, running to the coast. The granite is of a very beautiful kind; furnished the material for the lighthouse and beacon on Plymouth breakwater; and furnished also the block of 70 tons out of which the sarcophagus of the Duke of Wellington was formed.

The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Exeter. Value, £230. Patron, Sir Rashleigh, Bart. The church is ancient but good; has a tower; and was the depository of the stannary records during the civil war. There are chapels for Wesleyans and Bible Christians, and a national school.
