Stranger things have happened, but the history of the church
in Hubberholme, is well documented ... Fish ... swimming down
the aisles of the church. Why then did our friend, ...Robert
Thompson, a fine carpenter and woodworker who became known
all over the world for his trademark...a small hand-carved
mouse which will be found unobtrusively on chair legs, bench
ends, bed heads, the corner of a door... used his first commission
at Hubberholme Church in Wharfedale to whittle vermin?...simply
because he can't carve fish. Sad.
As for JB Priestly...he ate, angled for, and barbecued fish
by the stream-full. Thats why he wanted his ashes back in
the beck.
Well that's my version and I'm sticking to it !
Still the walking from here is an absolute must. Hubber-Hubber.
