VICAR WHO OWNS AN INN
AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS. The vicar at Hubberhohne, a village near Skipton, Yorkshire, has had to make an appeal for funds to save a public house, of which he is owner by ecclesiastical rights, from being closed. The vicar is the Rev. E. J. Jones, of the Hubberholme Church of St. Michael’s and All Angels, and the public house is the George Inn, one of the quaintest in Yorkshire. Mr Jones, as owner of the property, cannot afford to cover the cost of structural alterations ordered by the licensing authorities. Unless these alterations are carried out, the inn will lose the license it has held for generations. The inn became the property of the parish church many years ago, when it was bought by the predecessor of the present vicar, and it is in response to requests to save the inn that the vicar has issued his appeal. The response has been encouraging, and the belief at Hubberholme is that the inn will not have to be closed.
