Cublington was described in 1806 in "Magna Britannia" as follows:
CUBLINGTON, in the hundred of Cotslow and deanery Muresley, lies about seven miles nearly to the north of Aylesbury. The manor was successively in the families of Cheyne, Despencer, Lucy, Corbet, Willoughby and Carter. It was purchased of the latter in 1664, by the Tourneys, from whom it passed by a female heir to the present proprietor, Thomas Sheppard esq.
In the church, which was removed to its present site in the year 1400, are some memorials of the Tourney family.
The patronage of the rectory belongs to Lincoln College, in Oxford. This parish has been inclosed by an act of parliament, passed in the year 1769, when an allotment of land was assigned to the rector, in lieu of tithes, glebe, &c.
