Yorkshire on Sunday 22 November 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 22 November 1641: Snow falls at Elmswell (Driffield), and sheep farmers jostle for low ground and feed
- 22 November 1839: Bradford rejects its new vicar William Scoresby’s proposal for a church rate by a huge majority, inspiring a curious letter
- 22 November 1884: The railway will not revive lead mining at Grassington, but may bring tourism to the Dales
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
