Yorkshire on Friday 15 August 2025
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 15 August 1677: John Thoresby writes from Leeds to his son Ralph in London recommending he keep a diary
- 15 August 1781: The ineffably peripatetic John Wesley discovers a movable pulpit in Sheffield
- 15 August 1805: The Sheffield volunteer infantry depart to fight Napoleon on the beaches, which one man thinks might be in the Peak District
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)
