Then!
Yorkshire in history:

- 2 February 1609: A crowd-pleasing morality play at Candlemas at Gouthwaite Hall in Catholic Nidderdale lands the cordwainer-players and their patron before the Star Chamber
- 2 February 1806: John Yeadon helps a desperate sinner at a Methodist love-feast during the Great Revival at Yeadon
Proverbially:
Sunday clipt, Sunday shorn,
Better t’ bairn had niver been born.
(Moorman 1916)
