Son of Capt. Charles Luxmoore-Brooke, Gent (b. 4 Jan 1824 Guilsford, Montgomeryshire Powys, Wales - d. 9 Jan 1890 Monoco, buried Church Minshull, Cheshire, England) and Mary Rosealie Carpenter Luxmoore-Brooke (b. 9 Jan 1836 Black Torrington, Devon - d. 19 Apr 1893 and also buried Church Minshull, Cheshire, England).
Baptized 18 July 1872 Germansweek
Married Rosalie Maude Acworth Ommanney 17 Aug 1897 in Kensington, Knightsbridge, London (they were first cousins).
Purchased and Renovated Stafford Barton Estate, Dolton, Devon in 1910 to 1912.
Charles Frederick Coryndon Luxmoore bought Stafford Barton in Dolton, Devon in 1910. He made extensive changes to the ancient house and included many coats of arms in its decoration including, of course his own.
Two stained glass skylights record the arms of:
1)BROOKE of Norton Priory, Cheshire: "Or, a cross engrailed, parted per pale gules and sable." (Grandmother: Frances Brooke)
2)CUNLIFFE: "Sable three conies courant argent." (Great Grandmother: Margaret Cunliffe)
A series of stained glass window panels in the Luxmoore Great Hall commemorate the LUXMOORE family plus:
1) Rosalie Maud Acworth OMMANNEY, his wife family. These are:
MANEY: "Party per pale, argent and sable; three chevronels between as many cinquefoils counterchanged" (for Ommaney) impaled with
MANATON: "Argent, on a bend Sable three mullets of the field." (great Grandmother, Martha Manaton)
2)Mary Rosalie CARPENTER, his mother: "Party per pale or and Azure, an eagle displayed counterchanged"
"CFCL" became famous in 1928 for his trip up the Amazon into the Brazilian jungle in an attempt to find Colonel Percy Fawcett, who had set off in 1925 with his son, Jack and his friend, Raleigh Rimmel, to search for what Fawcett's termed 'The Lost City of Z'. CFCL travelled 3000 miles in his quest but was forced to abandon it some 80 miles from Fawcett's last known camp when the rainy season resulted in the rivers becoming unnavigable. Unlike Fawcett, he concluded that any attempt to hack through the jungle on foot, attempting to survive solely on its fruits, was madness. He arrived back at Stafford Barton with a range of skins and ancient artefacts and some live exotic animals, which included parrots and two jaguars. He also brought back his Brazilian interpreter, Jose. However, the latter soon returned to Brazil being unable to cope with the cold, damp weather of Devon. CFCL died in 1933, still hailed as "the great explorer". His widow continued living at Stafford Barton until her death in 1955.
CFCL also traced another branch of the Luxmoore family that originated in the 16th century with Stephen Luxmore of Black Torrington, who appear to have been based in the Ashwater, Broadwoodwidger, Germansweek area for much of the 17th century, for a high proportion of children within this family were baptised at Broadwoodwidger (see p.37 of The Family of Luxmoore). However, this line seems to have died out early in the 18th century.
