OK its a record office but they have spare space and are using it well. A display of church records and some ideas for visits at the moment. Worth calling if you are interested, all very friendly. Really annoyed with myself, i rode past Hubberholme church last week and didn't realise it was on my 'to do list'. Next time?

Useful place. Staff helpful if you're searching records for family history etc. Note that you need an appointment first. You can't just turn up.
