Yorkshire on Sunday 27 December 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 27 December 1132: The foundation of Fountains Abbey by dissidents from St Mary’s, York, retold by a Victorian antiquary using Cistercian chronicles
- 27 December 1745: A correspondent from Stokesley (Hambleton) recounts the destruction of their Catholic chapel by a youthful mob during the Jacobite invasion of England
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
