(1766–1830) was an English bishop of three sees. The son of John Luxmoore
of Okehampton, Devon, he was born there. He was educated
at Ottery St. Mary school
and at Eton College, going as a
scholar in 1775 to King's College, Cambridge.
He graduated B.A. in 1780 and proceeded M.A. in 1783. On 30
June 1795 he was created D.D. at Lambeth by Archbishop John Moore. He became
fellow of his college, and having been tutor to the Earl of
Dalkeith, he obtained preferment. He was made rector of St. George's, Bloomsbury,
in 1782, prebendary of Canterbury in 1703, dean of Gloucester in
1799, and rector of Taynton in 1800. In
1806 he exchanged St. George's, Bloomsbury, for St. Andrew's, Holborn. In
1807 he became bishop of Bristol, in 1808
he was translated as bishop of Hereford, and in
1815 to bishop of St Asaph. In
1808 he resigned the deanery of Gloucester and in 1816 the benefice of St.
Andrew's, Holborn. Luxmoore held, as was usual, the archdeaconry of St Asaph at
the same time as the bishopric, and had other preferments. He died at the
palace, St Asaph, on 31 January 1830. He published a few charges and sermons.
