Yorkshire on Friday 6 December 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 6 December 1811: Sydney Smith to John Murray on “the privileges of the North”
- 6 December 1853: The Rev. Heslop of Forcett (Richmondshire) writes in the old style to his protégé John Pick Allison regarding the death of the latter’s uncle, and suspicions of legacy-hunting
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)
