Interestingly searching Google for 'Hubberholme Langstrothdale' produces 691 documents whereas 'Hubberholme Wharfedale' produced 11,000 documents. It may be wrong, but I think I'll stick with the latter.

To Anon 17/06/2007. The Ilkley on your picture will be Ilkley near Bradford. This is the subject of the famous song "On Ilkley Moor Ba'ht hat" This town has great roman connections etc. The use of 'Wharfdale' is the key as the river Wharf is wide and was forded there. Hobberholme is normally said to be in Langstrothdale and although it is arguably the place where the Wharf rises it not usually called Wharfdale so high up. Watch the movie "Calender Girls" for more views of this area especially the two boys sitting on the 'Cow and Calf rocks at Ilkley.

Thanks Ric. Duly corrected

Please note the spelling mistake below your photographs of Hubberholme Church.

Sorry, don't think I can help you there. The only Ilkley I've heard of is the one in the song, which is south of Bradford.
