Yorkshire on Friday 27 September 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 27 September 1680: The Rev Oliver Heywood shows disregard for Calvinist views on fasting, for his horses, and for his wife
- 27 September 1696: A proverbial Michaelmas rhyme and parade at Scarborough parodies rent collectors
- 27 September 1835: Gabriel Davis, an Ashkenazi-Jewish optician of Woodhouse, asks to be added to the Leeds electoral roll
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)
