Yorkshire on Friday 29 August 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 29 August 1570: On arriving in Yorkshire, Archbishop Grindal declares war on bloody-minded folk-Catholicism
- 29 August 1914: The local newspaper reproves a Rothwell councillor who called for women not to sew for the troops
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)
