Then!
Yorkshire in history:

- 25 July 1730: John Hobson encounters two outlandish, free-living men at Thirsk
- 25 July 1837: Sir Walter James, 2nd Baronet (21) is elected MP for Kingston upon Hull, to the joy of a young Tory author
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)
