• Anglican. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SW9245 and was dedicated to St Cuby and St James. St Cuby was the son of Solomon, King (or Earl) of Cornwall about the year 350. He was bred up as a zealous christian of the orthodox faith at a time when the christian faith was still evolving. He became a disciple of St Hilary and was a prime mover in converting Roman Britain to christianity.
  The silt-buried original parish church in Tregony was dedicated to St James; it had to be abandoned in 1553. Since then, the church of Tregony has been that of St Cuby, situated at the top of the main street, but which is unfortunately in the parish of Cuby. The two, were once separate parishes, but for many years they have been consolidated. The church of Cuby is situated on the borders of the borough of Tregony. The church, except for the tower, was rebuilt in 1828. It comprises a chancel, nave, and north transept which is also used as a vestry. There is a south porch with a stone roof. The tower is of two stages, and is buttresed at the angles; it has stump pinnacles, and contained one bell. The churchyard is entered by a lych gate.

In the May of 1641 it was agreed and ordered that every Member of the House of Commons and House of Lords should make a protestation (declaration of loyalty) to the crown. The Protestation was printed and then distributed by the Members to their counties. The Protestation was to be made by everyone and the Rectors, Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor, had to appear before the Justices of the Peace in their Hundred to make their protestation and, on returning to their parishes, any two of them were to witness the taking of the Protestation Oath by all males over the age of 18 years. All names were listed and anyone who refused was to be noted.

The Protestation Returns of 1642 for Cuby are available on-line.
