The old Norman church is the resting place of the ashes of the writer and playwright J.B. Priestley. The old inn, The George, is opposite the Church. This is notable for the lit candle that sits on the bar to indicate the pub is open and serving. The tradition dates from distinctive auctions for agricultural land or grazing that were held in The George. The last bid to be received before the candle extinguished was the winner.
Hubberholme is the mid point of a very popular walk from Buckden, via Hubberholme to Cray
