Yorkshire on Sunday 15 March 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 15 March 1586: Offered a jury acquittal, Margaret Clitherow of York, concealer of priests, chooses martyrdom and is crushed under her own front door
- 15 March 1715: Frustrated lovers Martha Railton and Roger Wrightson of Bowes (North Riding) are buried together
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
