Yorkshire on Friday 11 September 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 11 September 1666: Nine days after the start of the Great Fire, Margaret Hodgson of Richmond tells a York court that a beggar told her yesterday of a plot to burn London
- 11 September 1780: Having paid £1.5M (modern) in bribes to voters, William Wilberforce is elected MP for Hull
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)
