Hubberholme Church

    The church of St Michael & All Angels, Hubberholme was originally a forest chapel and dates 
    from the 12th century. It was originally dedicated to the Northumbrian, Saint Oswald. The 
    present church is famous for its rood loft, one of only two surviving in Yorkshire, which is 
    thought to have come from Coverham Priory in 1558. The choir stall and pews were made by 
    Thompson of Kilburn in 1934 - and several of his carved mice can be seen.

    Legend has it that the altar in the Lady Chapel was rescued, many years ago, from the George
    Inn across the road, where it was being used a a bar! The candelabra were the only source 
    of illumination until 1955 and are still used to light the Christmas Carol service.

    The church is the last resting place of Bradford born author, J.B. Priestley, who wrote of 
    Hubberholme - "one of the smallest and most pleasant places in the world". A memorial can     
    be seen at the back of the church.

    The church is full of interesting details and is well worth a visit.
