Yorkshire on Sunday 6 September 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 6 September 1785: A Times reader calls for a royal pension for Betty Jackson, a Hull washerwoman
- 6 September 1823: A list of tithes included in, and excluded from, future Tory MP Richard Fountayne Wilson’s offer to pay the vicar of Leeds half the cost of their abolition
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
