Parish church, formerly chapel
Luxulyan is a village in mid Cornwall, 6 miles S of Bodmin, and is the site of a granite quarry. It is in the valley of the River Par, designated a World Heritage Site for its important early 19thc. industrial remains. The church stands at the E edge of the village and is of granite ashlar with granite dressings. It consists of a nave and chancel in one with N and S aisles to the nave, a S porch and a W tower with a NE stair turret, and is substantially 15thc. in date, and restored in the late-19thc. The only Romanesque feature is the font, of the Bodmin type but not by that workshop.
