A look at the history of St Michael and All Angels Church, Hubberholme, with Dr Emma Wells

"...The architecture is a delightful blend of Norman, Gothic, and vernacular styles. The craftsmanship extends to the pews and choir stalls, many of which were carved in the 16th century, though interspersed with more modern, 20th-century pews, choir stall and chair additions by Robert ‘the mouseman’ Thompson of Kilburn, who left his trademark carving throughout..."

Don't forget to check out The George Inn whilst in Hubberholme - open for lunch and dinner sittings on New Year's Day. Perfect for a stop-off during this walk.
