Cubley is a parish of two closely linked villages six miles (10 km) south of Ashbourne in Derbyshire. Great Cubley and Little Cubley are known collectively as Cubley. The parish church of St Andrew is roughly equidistant from the two, but is formally in Great Cubley. The church is Grade I listed. The population of the civil parish (including Alkmonton) taken at the 2011 Census was 232.[1]
Cubley is mentioned in the Domesday book where it is spelt Cobelei. The book says[2] under the title of "The lands of Henry de Ferrers":[3]
"In Cubley Siward had two carucates of land to the geld. There is land for two ploughs. There are now two ploughs in demesne and four villans and four bordars and one slave having one plough. There is a priest and a church and one mill rendering 12 pence and eight acres of meadow and woodland pasture one league long and one league broad. TRE[4] worth 100 shillings now 40 shillings.
