Yorkshire on Sunday 26 April 2026
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 1810: Blind Jack of Knaresborough, perhaps the first professional road-builder to emerge during the Industrial Revolution, dies at his home in Spofforth
- 26 April 1867: In a requiem to Hull’s whaling industry, the Diana sails into port at the end of its fateful Arctic voyage
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
