Parish History
CUBY (St. Keby), a parish, in the union of Truro, W. division of the hundred of Powder and of the county of Cornwall; adjoining the town of Tregoney.

Cuby St Cuby was originally a chapelry of the Ancient parish of Tregony.

The church of Cuby is dedicated to Saint Cuby, a Welsh saint: since the parish church of Tregony was lost to the River Fal ca. 1540 Cuby Parish Church has been in fact the parish church of Tregony also. The church was rebuilt in 1828 though some of the medieval masonry still exists on the north side and the tower (of two stages) is of the 14th century. In the south aisle is an inscribed stone of the 6th or 7th century (Nonnita Ercilini Rigati [...]tris Fili Ercilini). The church in Norman times belonged to the alien priory at Tregony but in 1278 ownership passed to Merton Priory in Surrey.

The early registers refllect that Tregony was the parish and Cuby the chapel and are extremely faded and tightly bound with damage. Volume P44/1/1

There is an error in the way point years for baptisms which should read 1812-1878 which awaits correction in future by engineers.
