Yorkshire on Sunday 10 May 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 10 May 1701: Most Leeds corporation members and functionaries are ordered to dress appropriately
- 10 May 1784: The punishment regime at the waged spinning school for young factory girls launched today at York by the philanthropist Catharine Harrison
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
