Luxulyan (/ləkˈsɪljən/; Cornish: Logsulyan),[1] also spelt Luxullian or Luxulian, is a village and civil parish in mid Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

Luxulyan Quarry, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest to the north of the village, exposes examples of this rock.

[5] Luxulyanite, a rare type of Cornish granite (named after the village) is found in the area and was used for the Duke of Wellington's sarcophagus in St Paul's Cathedral.

Other villages in Luxulyan parish include the Churchtown, Bridges, Treskilling, Rosemelling, Higher Menadue, and Bodwen.

[6] In the early 1980s Luxulyan was the site of a six-month occupation of farmland by much of the village population, with many groups and individuals from across Cornwall helping, to prevent test drilling by the Central Electricity Generating Board investigating the area as a potential nuclear power station site.

It still has the Norman font (very similar to that at St Austell) and the east window is a monument to Silvanus Trevail, d. 1903.

[10][11] The Cornish Stannary Court of the Tinners' Parliament kept its records, seal and charter stored in a turret of the church tower.

The service end is of two storeys and the later parlour wing was attributed by Charles Henderson to Nicholas Kendall (some time between 1622 and 1649).

[14] The remains of an Iron-Age hillfort known as Prideaux Castle are located in the southern portion of the parish near the border with St Blazey.

[15] Notable people from Luxulyan include William O'Bryan, the Methodist preacher and founder of the Bryanites or Bible Christians, and Silvanus Trevail, the architect.
