Cublington is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located about seven miles north of Aylesbury. The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Cubbel's estate'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Coblincote.


The parish church of St Nicholas is built in the perpendicular style. The tower of the church is decorated with blank tracery windows. Inside, the chancel arch has unusual corbels of a man and a monkey.


500 yards from the church is a small man-made hill, approximately 20 ft. high, known as "The Beacon", it is in fact the motte of a small Norman castle.


North west of the church the 18th century stable block of the former manor house survives, it is an impressive building built of brick. A granary also survives built on an arcaded basement. This is rare as granaries in the area tended to be built on saddle stones. This type of agricultural building was generally raised from the ground to deter rodents.


There are some houses of note, these include: Old Manor Farm, a large low house with a recently created series of spectacular gardens; and opposite the church, the impressive former rectory, dating from the 18th century with more recent additions, and an informal garden, open to the public once or twice a year. Neal's Farm is an H plan half timbered house dating from circa 1600.


The village is attractive and has many old cottages, as well as the inevitable small enclaves of newly built houses.
