Yorkshire on Friday 27 February 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 27 February 1390: Robert de Ellerbeck, mercer, walks into York Council on the Ouse bridge with a question for a certain Ralph del See
- 27 February 1717: Julia Calverley of Esholt Hall completes ten panels of needlework currently displayed at Wallington Hall, Northumberland
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)
