George Cubitt, 1st Baron Ashcombe
George Cubitt, 1st Baron Ashcombe PC (4 June 1828 – 26 February 1917) was a British politician and peer, the son of Thomas Cubitt, the leading London builder and property developer of his day.
==Education and career==
Cubitt was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated with first a BA and later took his honorary MA. He served as Conservative Party Member of Parliament for West Surrey from 1860 to 1885, and then for Epsom until 1892, when elevated to the Lords as Baron Ashcombe of Dorking, Surrey and of Bodiam Castle, Sussex, having been invested as a Privy Counsellor in 1880. He also served as Honorary Colonel of the 5th Battalion, Royal West Surrey Regiment, and Deputy Lieutenant of the counties of both Surrey and Middlesex.
Denbies, a large estate in Dorking, was part of the inheritance from his father; Cubitt lived in the mansion built by his father there until 1905.〔 Cubitt purchased his estate in Bodiam, East Sussex, from local farmer Thomas Levett, descendant of an old Sussex family and owner of Court Lodge Farm, for £1,039 on 4 August 1862.
While an MP for West Surrey, Cubitt and his wife Lady Laura were one of the founders and benefactors of St Catherine's School in Bramley, Surrey in 1885. One of the schoolhouses was named in his honour after his death. His wife's gift to the school was a Sanatorium, which cared for sick pupils. A stained glassed window in the school chapel, dedicated to St Cecilia, was created by Cubitt in remembrance of his wife after she died in 1904. The patron of the school is Cubitt's great-great granddaughter Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://gsa.uk.com/2015/03/hrh-the-duchess-of-cornwall-to-be-the-patron-of-st-catherines-school-bramley/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.essentialsurrey.co.uk/news/the-duchess-of-cornwall-visits-st-catherine%27s-school/ )〕
