Henry Edward Cubitt, 2nd Baron AshcombeCBTD (14 March 1867 – 27 October 1947), was a British politician and peer, the son of George Cubitt, 1st Baron Ashcombe, and his wife Laura Joyce. He is also the great-grandfather of Queen Camilla.
Cubitt succeeded to the peerage upon the death of his father in 1917. He was appointed to be a Deputy Lieutenant of the County of Surrey in 1940.[3]
Denbies, a large estate in Surrey, was included in his inheritance from his father. The payment of death duties and the upkeep of large estates during World War I resulted in large parts of the estate being auctioned on 19 September 1921.[4]
He married Maud Marianne Calvert, daughter of Colonel Archibald Motteux Calvert and Constance Maria Georgiana Peters, on 21 August 1890. They had six sons, three of whom were killed in World War I:
Henry Archibald Cubitt (born 3 January 1892, died 15 September 1916)
Alick George Cubitt (born 16 January 1894, died 24 November 1917)
William Hugh Cubitt (born 30 May 1896, died 24 March 1918)
