Yorkshire tomorrow, Sunday 25 January 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 25 January 1328: Edward III (15) marries his cousin Philippa (13) of Hainaut (Belgium) at York Minster, in order to save England from the Scots, the French, and the English
- 25 January 1686: John Reresby is disgusted to learn that his brother Jervase has married a (relatively) poor, common Spaniard and emigrated
- 25 January 1859: John Lumsden, Hull-based Scottish steam entrepreneur and future mayor, addresses the local Robert Burns centenary dinner
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
