• Anglican. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SX2358 and was originally dedicated to St Cuby and St Leonard on 15th October 1321. The present church is dedicated to St Cuby (or Keby), who was born in Cornwall in the 5th century A.D and was the nephew of St Nonna. He trained for the priesthood in Ireland, and established churches, particularly in Wales, and was the founder of the monastery of Holyhead in Anglesey.
  The church contains a chancel, nave, north chancel aisle, north aisle, and north and south transepts. The nave arcade has four lofty four-centred arches of Pentewan stone, with pillars of the same material. The north transept, used to be known as the Treworgy aisle, was appropriated by the Kendall family during the early 19th century. There is a south porch, a blocked north door, a priest's door, and a north transept door. The tower is on the south side of the church, and adjoins the south transept, but it has no direct communication with the church. It was originally of three stages, but because it had developed an inclination to the north, the uppermost stage was removed and a loft pyramidal roof of slate was substituted. It is buttressed on the square, and contains six bells.
  In 1936 St Cuby's, and All Saints, Herodsfoot, re-joined to become the united benefice of Duloe-with-Herodsfoot although both Parishes were still to be independent. Since then they have shared rectors and Priests-in-Charge and very often, in the early days of the United Benefice, a Curate who would live in the All Saints Vicarage and have particular responsibility for the village.
  St Cuby's Well lies on the right hand side of the road to Looe, past the old rectory (now called Duloe Manor) The inner chamber is of ancient date and the steps down into the water appear to mark it as a baptismal well. In the church in the north transept is St Cuby's font a stone basin from an earlier well further down the hill. It is of pre- Christian origin, and the carvings of griffin and fish link it with purification rites.
  There is a Mission Church from St Cuby's called St Mary's, which was located at Hill.
