Yorkshire on Sunday 7 April 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 7 April 1679: Catholic missionary Nicholas Postgate (80) speaks words of hope before being hanged, disembowelled and quartered at York on the false word of Titus Oates
- 7 April 1687: James II’s declaration of freedom of conscience arrives in Yorkshire, but fails in its alleged underlying intention – to drive people into the arms of the Catholic church
- 7 April 1812: Sheffield cemetery builders and metal-workers riot on market day against potato price inflation
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
