"Cubert is a small village just west of Newquay, named for St Cubert, an 7th-century Welsh missionary and companion of St Carantoc. A holy well associated with the saint gave its name to nearby Holywell village.
The 13th-century parish church stands on the site of an earlier Norman church, which, in turn, replaced a pre-Conquest timber building. The west tower was added around 1300, and the entire church was restored by GE Street from 1846.
Street is responsible for the striking spire, with a 'drop-shoulder' design more reminiscent of Sussex, or, indeed, France."
