Yorkshire on Saturday 17 October 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 17 October 1688: York on the eve of the Glorious Revolution: “an archbishopric without a bishop, a city without a lord mayor, a garrison without a soldier”
- 17 October 1826: Rabbi Phillips of York writes to the Herald accepting an apology from the evangelical Jew-converter (and convert) Joseph Wolff for taking his name in vain
- 17 October 1887: John Hughlings Jackson, late of York, uses recollections of the minster to illustrate the double mental vision displayed by punsters
