Yorkshire on Friday 12 July 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 12 July 1692: Philip Wharton finances the annual donation of large numbers of English bibles and catechisms to poor children in York
- 12 July 1770: William Hickington, the Pocklington Poet, writes a verse-will
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)
