Yorkshire on Monday 13 July 2026
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 13 July 1503: On her way to marry James IV of Scotland, Margaret Tudor (13) is met between Sirowsby and Doncaster by a euphonious sheriff
- 13 July 1626: Charles I gives the borough of Leeds its first municipal charter, reflecting York’s loss of industry, protecting its textiles, and reducing the power of most burgesses
- 13 July 1820: Hannah, the disabled daughter of John Yeadon, is “insulted and assaulted”
- 13 July 1858: A visit to an alum works near Whitby
