CUBY, a parish in the western division of the hundred
of POWDER, county of CORNWALL, £ of a mile
(N. by E.) from Tregoney, containing, with the borough
of Tregoney, 1175 inhabitants. The living is a vicarage,
with Tregoney, in the archdeaconry of Cornwall,
and diocese of Exeter, and in the patronage of the
Marquis of Cleveland. The church is dedicated to
St. Keby. An hospital for decayed housekeepers
was founded here, in 1646, by Hugh Boscaw, who endowed
it with lands now producing £30 per annum,
and which are expected to yield a much larger income
on the expiration of the present leases.
