Yorkshire on Friday 5 July 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 5 July 1603: In his will, William Clapham gives poor pupils at the Giggleswick free school something to celebrate on St Gregory’s Day
- 5 July 1858: The view from the tower of Beverley Minster
Proverbially:
Dean’t o’ Friday buy your ring,
O’ Friday dean’t put t’ spurrins [banns] in;
Dean’t wed o’ Friday. Think on o’ this,
Nowther blue nor green mun match her driss.
(Moorman 1916)New mean, new mean, I hail thee,
This neet my true love for to see.
Not iv his best or worst array,
Bud iv his apparel for ivery day.
That I to-morrow may him ken
Frev amang all other men.
(Moorman 1916)
