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.

Beautiful colours and reflections, early evening on Loch Katrine.

The feet got a bit wet but it was worth it.
