Yorkshire on Sunday 5 January 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 5 January 1726: Mr Wordsworth of New Laithes Grange (Horsforth) produces evidence of an attempted burglary and a lucky escape
- 5 January 1846: Writing to fellow-botanist William Borrer, Richard Spruce of Ryedale despairs of his Pyrenean mosses arousing interest amid George Hudson’s railway mania
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
