Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 19 March 1734: The dying son of a gypsy is baptised at Carlton in Cleveland
- 19 March 1866: Corn-merchant J.R. Mortimer of Driffield opens a prehistoric burial mound on the Wolds and suggests a link to ancient Greek descriptions of Balearic rites
- 19 March 1894: The Goole coroner wonders at the frequency of death by tripe
Proverbially:
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)
