Yorkshire on Sunday 1 February 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 1 February 1708: A wide range of citizens receives the sacrament at Leeds parish church, one for the first time
- 1 February 1829: Jonathan Martin’s attempt to burn down York Minster is frustrated by a frolicsome chorister
- 1 February 1893: Alderman Herbert Bramley (Liberal) can’t see why Sheffield, on the 50th anniversary of its municipal charter, should want to become a city
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
