Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 4 January 1728: Martha Savile (100) is buried at Mexborough (Doncaster) in a Cudworth family coffin
- 4 January 1813: Alexander Thomson, Baron of the Exchequer, fires the Georgian state’s opening salvo in the great trial at York of Luddites from the West Riding
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
