Yorkshire on Friday 26 May 2023
Then
Yorkshire in history:
- 1808/05/26 - The first Ascension Day on which is generally contemplated the notion that ammonites found on Whitby beach are snakes petrified by Saint Hilda, and that seabirds dip their wings in her honour when over-flying
- 1941/05/26 - Headingley’s Shire Oak falls, legendary site of Anglo-Saxon local government between Aire and Wharfe
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)
