Charles Luxmoore
British priest
Charles Scott Luxmoore (1794–1854) was an Anglican priest.
The son of John Luxmoore, a bishop, Charles Scott Luxmoore was educated at Eton and St John's College, Cambridge. From 1826 to 1854 he was Dean of St Asaph.
He married on 10 September 1829, Katherine, daughter of Rev. Sir John Nicholl, Dean of the Arches, of Merthyr Mawr, Glamorgan. They had one son, John Nicholl Luxmoore (1830–1849) who died young following a horse riding accident.
Charles died at Cradley, Herefordshire on 27 April 1854 and he is buried at St Asaph Cathedral. The Clerical Journal marked his death as that of "another gigantic pluralist":
The late Dean held, beside his deanery, which was worth £1200 per annum, the rectory of Cradley, worth £1000 per annum, a sinecure rectory at Bromyard, £200 per annum, another of the same value at Darowen, the Chancellorship of the Cathedral and a Canonry of Hereford.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Charles Luxmoore” as british priest. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as british priest. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5080397. VIAF identifies the subject as 308180680. The Library of Congress control number is nb2013020300. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1794, 1854, 1826 and 1829.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
