Yorkshire on Friday 26 April 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 26 April 1543: Robert Rawson, warder for the crown of the misses Levening, suggests to their mother at Acklam that she may wish to purchase them from him
- 26 April 1867: In a requiem to Hull’s whaling industry, the Diana bears the corpse of Captain Gravill into port at the end of its fateful Arctic voyage
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)
