Historical Description
CUBLEY is a parish comprising the villages of Great and Little Cubley, the first situated to the north, and the latter on lofty ground west from the church, 4 miles west from Rocester station, on the North Staffordshire railway, 6 south from Ashborne, 5 north from Sudbury, 7 north-east from Uttoxeter and 13 west from Derby, in the Western division of the county, Appletree hundred and petty sessional division, Uttoxeter union and county court district, rural deanery of Ashborne, archdeaconry of Derby and diocese of Southwell. There are two streams in the parish, called Bentley and Cubley, but they unite near the church and are then called Bentley Brook. The church of St. Andrew, a stone building standing on a gentle eminence near the high road from Ashborne to Sudbury, consists of chancel, nave, south aisle, north and west porches, and a lofty embattled tower at the west end containing 4 bells, the second and third bear invocations to SS. Barbara and Andrew, the treble is dated 1661 and the tenor 1688: the large and massive circular font is Norman, as are three semi-circular arches, on round piers, which divide the nave and aisle, and the piers of the chancel arch with their capitals: the chancel is Early English of the last half of the 12th century, and has a stained east window to L. C. Humfrey esq. Q.C. and Emma, his wife, erected in 1874 by their children: on the south side of the chancel are three lancet windows; one, inserted in 1874, being a memorial to William Yatus; two others are filled with ancient 14th century glass, taken from the old east window: the tower, built in the reign of Henry VIII., is a fair example of Late Perpendicular, and terminates in an embattled parapet with pinnacles at the angles, it was restored in 1874; and the exterior displays a series of coats of arms, illustrating the various alliances of the family of Montgomery: on the north side is a raised tomb of alabaster to Sir Nicholas Montgomery, the inscription on which, dated 27 March, 1435, disappeared some time since; on the top lies the recumbent but much mutilated effigy of a knight in plate armour, wearing a collar of roses, and his head resting on a helmet; around the sides of the tomb are figures of angels holding shields in bas-relief: on the south side of the church, within an arch, are the remains of a marble tomb, projecting slightly from the wall, with six of its eight original compartments filled with figures: this monument, though much reduced and mutilated, has been identified as the tomb of Sir Nicholas Montgomery, the third of that name, ob. 3 August, 1494, and his wife Joan Haddon: in the south-east angle of the chancel is a small alabaster effigy of a female in a recumbent position upon a marble plinth: one other tomb against the south wall of the aisle, formerly an altar tomb beneath an arch, has been almost destroyed to make room for pews; the chancel retains a piscina, and on the walls are memorials to John Lonsdale D.D. Bishop of Lichfield (1843), and to John Davys esq. late patron of the church (1872); a new organ was placed in the church in 1896; the chancel was restored in 1845 and the chancel and tower in 1873—4, at a cost of £1,400; the church was re-seated in 1885, at a cost of £80, and has 200 sittings: in the churchyard is an ancient yew tree, and a fine monument to Emma, widow of L. C. Humfrey esq. Q.C. (1873). The register dates from the year 1566, but is in several places illegible through damp and bad ink; the entries between 1672 and 1676 are missing, and there is a gap between 1723 and 1726: with these registers are included those of Marston Montgomery up to 1660. The living is a rectory, with that of Marston Montgomery annexed, joint net yearly value £380, including 5 acres of glebe, in the gift of the trustees of the late John Davys esq. and held since 1868 by the Rev. Cave Humfrey, of St. Bees. There is a Wesleyan chapel here, erected in 1874, with sittings for 150. John Harpur, in 1686, gave 8s. yearly, and Bull's charity, founded in 1708, produces 10s. yearly, both sums are to be given in bread to the poor. In ancient times a market and fair were held here, but both are now obsolete. Lord Vernon and Capt. Henry Arthur Clowes are lords of the manor and owners of nearly all the land. The soil is partly light and partly heavy; subsoil, clay, marl and gravel. The land is chiefly in pasture for dairy produce. The acreage is 2,386; rateable value, £3,180; the population in 1891 was 285.
National School (mixed), erected in 1871 for 72 children; average attendance, 55, & supported by Capt. H. A. Clowes J.P.
