Yorkshire on Sunday 27 September 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 27 September 1680: The Rev Oliver Heywood manifests disregard for Calvinist views on fasting, for his horses, and for his wife
- 27 September 1696: Scarborough’s mock mayor collects his municipal dues by Scarborough warning in a Michaelmas parade
- 27 September 1835: Gabriel Davis, an (Ashkenazi) Jewish optician of Woodhouse, asks a court to add him to the Leeds electoral roll
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
