Culture of Yorkshire

Culture of Yorkshire
White Rose, symbol of Yorkshire.

The culture of Yorkshire has developed over the county's history, taking influences from the cultures of those who came to control the region, including the Celts (Brigantes and Parisii), Romans, Angles, Vikings, Normans and more. Yorkshire people have been said to hold a strong sense of regional identity and have been viewed to identify more strongly with their county than their country.[1] The Yorkshire dialect and accent is distinctive, although use of dialect words is receding.[2]

Traditions and stereotypes

The people of Yorkshire are immensely proud of both their county and their identity, embracing the popular nickname of God's Own County given to Yorkshire.[3][4] It is sometimes suggested that Yorkshiremen identify more strongly with their county than they do with their country.[1]

The most common stereotype of a Yorkshire person is being tight with money: there is a British saying that "a Yorkshireman is a Scotsman with all the generosity squeezed out of him", which references how Scots are also stereotyped as being tight but not as tight as Yorkshire folk. This stereotype can also be seen in the Yorkshireman's Motto:

'Ear all, see all, say nowt;
Eyt all, sup all, pay nowt;
And if ivver tha does owt fer nowt -
Do it fer thissen.[5]

Translation: 'Hear all, see all, say nothing; Eat all, drink all, pay nothing; And if ever you do anything for nothing - Do it for yourself.

Yorkshire people are often stereotyped as being friendly but "bloody-minded", stubborn (also known as "Yorkshire-stubborn") and argumentative.[6][7] Indeed throughout the history of the area, going back to the time of the tribal Brigantes[citation needed], through the Norman period and Wars of the Roses, the region has seen a number of rebellions against non-Yorkshire or non-Northern rulers[citation needed].

One social stereotype of a Yorkshireman had a tendency to include such accessories as a flat cap and a whippet; this alludes to rural life. While the stereotype might not always ring true, the county certainly has an illustrious rural history, many of the now prominent West Yorkshire cities grew thanks in part to the wool industry. Another stereotype often heard in connection with Yorkshire workers is the proverb "where there’s muck, there’s brass"; this refers to the widely held view that where one is willing to do unpalatable work, there is plenty of money to be made.[8]

Tyke is now a colloquialism used to identify the Yorkshire dialect, as well as the term some Yorkshiremen affectionately use to describe themselves, especially in the West Riding. Originally "tyke" was used as a highly derogatory adjective, meaning "a crude uncouth ill-bred person lacking culture or refinement"; southerners used the term against Yorkshiremen,[9] but in defiance of the negative connotations it was adopted locally, taking on a new life.[10]

Among Yorkshire's unique traditions is the Long Sword dance, a traditional dance not found elsewhere in England. The most famous traditional song of Yorkshire is On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at ("On Ilkley Moor without a hat"), it is considered the unofficial anthem of the county.[11] In celebration of its culture, Yorkshire Day has been celebrated annually on 1 August since 1975. Amongst the celebrations is a civic gathering of Lord Mayors, Mayors and other civic heads from across the county, convened by the Yorkshire Society.

Food and drink

The cuisine of Yorkshire and that of northern England in general is known for its rich ingredients, especially in sweet dishes. Below is a list of foods which either originated from Yorkshire or are strongly associated with it.

Yorkshire puddings, served as part of a traditional Sunday roast.
  • Yorkshire pudding - far and away the most well known element of Yorkshire food, it is commonly served with roast beef and vegetables to form part of the standard Sunday roast, which itself grew from the county. It is created from batter and in most cases that it is eaten, the dish includes gravy.
  • Yorkshire curd tart - a curd tart recipe which has been around since at least the 1750s, unique because of its use of rosewater.[12][13]
  • Parkin - a sweet ginger cake which is different from standard ginger cakes in that it includes oatmeal and treacle as part of the traditional recipe.[14]
  • Gingerbread, one unusual form of gingerbread from Yorkshire has a layer of crystallised ginger in the middle, rather than an essence of ginger or ginger shavings.
  • Liquorice sweet - the plant was thought to have been brought over to Yorkshire by returning Crusaders or Dominican monks in the 14th century. It became synonymous with Pontefract in Yorkshire as local man, George Dunhill, in the 1760s thought to mix it with sugar, creating what was known locally as "Pomfret cakes", but is now well known as just liquorice. As liquorice requires deep soil to grow Pontefract was largely unique in growing it in the area, although no longer grown in the area Pontefract has two large confectionery factories as a legacy.[15]
  • Wensleydale cheese - a cheese associated with Wensleydale in North Yorkshire, the local pastures give the cheese the unique flavour for which it is renowned
  • Ginger beer - a beverage flavoured with ginger, it has existed since the mid 1700s.[16]
  • Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle - Rhubarb from the 'Rhubarb Triangle' is a 9-square-mile (23 km2) triangle in West Yorkshire, located between Wakefield, Morley and Rothwell famous for producing early forced rhubarb by candlelight. In February 2010, Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb was awarded Protected Designation of Origin status by the European Commission’s Protected Food Name scheme after being recommended by Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, (Defra).[17]

From the 1700s onwards, Yorkshire, and in particular the city of York, saw the growth of several chocolate factories or companies, forming an important part of the confectionery industry and now with globally known products.[18][19] These include:

Yorkshire is also a historic centre for the brewing of beer, with breweries such as Tetley's, John Smith's, Sam Smith's, Black Sheep, Theakston, Timothy Taylor, Copper Dragon and many more.[20]

Sport

Yorkshire has played a highly important role in the development of sports, some forms of which have gone on to have world wide notoriety. Sport holds a significant role in the overall modern day culture of the county, the main sports are football, cricket and rugby league.

Cricket

Yorkshire County Cricket Club represent the historic county in first-class cricket, they compete in the County Championship against 17 others, playing at their home ground of Headingley, Leeds.[21] Yorkshire are by far the most successful in the history of the championship: they have won the title on 30 separate occasions. Their nearest competitor in titles achieved is Surrey, who have won it 18 times.[21] They participate in a derby with Lancashire County Cricket Club known as the Roses Match, named after the Wars of the Roses.[22]

The first cricket club in Yorkshire is thought to have been Sheffield Cricket Club, who founded in 1751. Some players from Yorkshire have become highly acclaimed in the general history of the sport, including Herbert Sutcliffe, Sir Leonard Hutton, Wilfred Rhodes, George Herbert Hirst, Fred Trueman and Geoffrey Boycott.[23] Aside from the county club and its achievements, Yorkshiremen have also made a distinct mark on cricket in general; Thomas Lord was the man who founded Lord's Cricket Ground in London. As for umpires, the man regarded as the most famous and a figure synonymous with cricket, Dickie Bird, is from Barnsley.[24]

Football

Yorkshire is officially recognised by FIFA as the birth-place of club football, as Sheffield FC who were founded in 1857 are certified as the oldest association football club in the world.[25] South Yorkshire hosted the first ever inter-club match and the first ever local derby on 26 December 1860; between Sheffield FC and Hallam FC.[26] South Yorkshire is also home to what is recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the Oldest Ground in the World, Sandygate Road.[27] The Sheffield rules code was highly influential to the development of the FA's Laws of the Game, which is now the world wide standard code for the game and happened to be drafted by Ebenezer Cobb Morley from Hull.[26]

Yorkshire clubs compete in the English football league system. While they are by no means the most dominant footballing county, Yorkshire has produced several national league winners, some of whom have won the title more than once, including Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United. Some players from Yorkshire have gone on to become some of the most highly regarded in the history of the game, including World Cup-winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks and two time European Footballer of the Year award winner Kevin Keegan.

Rugby

Harold Wagstaff - Prince of the Centres.

Originally Yorkshire clubs formed part of the Rugby Football Union which covered all of England under the same code and they competed in competitions such as the Yorkshire Cup. The sport was popular amongst the working-class of the North, whilst in the South it was a middle-class mans game. This proved a problem in the pre-professional era for the Yorkshire clubs, as the working-class were limited by the need to earn a wage and did not have as much recreational time; it was against the rules for clubs to pay players at that time.

In 1895 the rugby schism took place, creating the sport of rugby league in Huddersfield, West Riding of Yorkshire. The association they founded, based in the North is what is today known as the Rugby Football League. Although in the modern day some Yorkshire clubs play rugby union, league is the main rugby focus for the county; of the 24 clubs who have competed in the Super League, 11 are from Yorkshire.

The five most decorated Yorkshire clubs in terms of league titles are Huddersfield Giants, Hull FC, Bradford Bulls, Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos. In total, six Yorkshiremen have been inducted into the British Rugby League Hall of Fame: Harold Wagstaff, Jonty Parkin, Roger Millward, Neil Fox, Billy Batten and Ellery Hanley.[28]

Ferret legging

The origin of ferret legging is disputed. The sport seems to have become popular among coal miners in Yorkshire, England, in the 1970s,[29][30] though some Scots claim it gained popularity in Scotland.[31] According to Marlene Blackburn of the Richmond Ferret Rescue League, ferret legging originated in public houses "where patrons would bet on who could keep a ferret in his pants the longest."[32] The sport may alternatively have originated during the time when only the relatively wealthy in England were allowed to keep ferrets used for hunting, forcing the animal poachers to hide their illicit ferrets in their trousers to avoid detection by gamekeepers.[33][34][35][36] This was also done by poachers and hunters to keep the animals warm in the cold weather.[31][34]

Retired miner Reg Mellor, from Barnsley,[37] set the new world record time of five hours and twenty-six minutes on 5 July 1981 at the Annual Pennine Show at Holmfirth, Yorkshire.[32][38][39][40] He had practised the sport since his youth, but had received no recognition until he set the new world record.[35] Mellor, who had hunted with ferrets in the dales outside of Barnsley for many years, had grown accustomed to keeping them in his trousers to keep them warm and dry when out working in the rain.[41] Mellor's "trick" was to ensure that the ferrets were well-fed before they were inserted into his trousers.[32]

In 1986, Mellor attempted to break his own record before a crowd of 2,500 spectators, intending to beat the "magic six-hour mark—the four-minute mile of ferret legging".[42] After five hours, most of the attendees had become bored and left; workmen arrived to dismantle the stage, despite Mellor's protests that he was on his way to a new record.[42] According to Adrian Tame of the Sunday Herald Sun, Mellor retired after that experience, "disillusioned and broken-hearted," but with his dignity and manhood intact.[43] Mellor had hoped to organise an annual national competition held in his home town of Barnsley, and offered a prize of £100 to anyone who could beat him.[29]

Others

In other sports, people from that county have also had success. "Prince" Naseem Hamed from Sheffield, was one of the most famous boxers of the 1990s; he won world championships in the Bantamweight (EBU) and Featherweight (IBF, IBO, WBC and WBO) divisions.

Yorkshire has produced several noted athletes; 100 metre runner Dorothy Hyman won three gold medals in the Commonwealth Games and one in the European Championships, middle-runner Peter Elliott also won gold at the Commonwealth Games. Adrian Moorhouse was a gold medal winning Olympian in swimming, earning victory at the 1988 Summer Olympics, he also won gold at three European Championships and three Commonwealth Games.

Literature

There are several instances of the county providing an important role in literature, perhaps the most famous literacy association is that between Whitby in North Yorkshire and Bram Stoker's Dracula. When Stoker wrote the novel, he was living in Whitby at the time and parts of it are set there, it includes several parts of Whitby folklore such as the beaching of the Russian ship Dmitri, which became the basis of Demeter in the book.[44] Today there is a Dracula Museum in the town, celebrating the association.[45] In terms of poetry, one of the most well known from Yorkshire is Andrew Marvell from Winestead-in-Holderness, he was noted for writing metaphysical poetry during the 1600s and his association with several other noted British poets from the era.[46][47]

The Brontë sisters
Then music, the mosaic of the air,
Did of all these a solemn noise prepare;
With which she gain'd the empire of the ear,
Including all between the earth and sphere.

Andrew Marvell, "Music's Empire"

The Brontë sisters -- Anne Brontë, Charlotte Brontë and Emily Brontë -- were all Yorkshirewomen born in Thornton and raised in Haworth, West Yorkshire.[48] Their novels, written in the mid-1800s, caused a sensation when they were first published and were subsequently accepted into the canon of great English literature. Amongst the most noted novels credited to the sisters are Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Emily's Wuthering Heights.[48]

In the present day, the most prominent Yorkshire presence in English literature is that of the playwright, author, actor, screenwriter and commentator Alan Bennett, born 1934 in Leeds, where much of his work is set.

Music

Folk music

Yorkshire has a rich heritage of folk music and folk dance including particularly Long Sword dance.[49] Folk songs were collected in the region from the nineteenth century, and it probably had more attention than other northern couinties, but its rich heritage of northern and industrial folk song was relatively neglected.[50] It was not until the second folk revival in the 1950s that Nigel and Mary Hudleston began to attempt to redress the balance, collecting a large number of Yorkshire songs between 1958 and 1978.[51]

Yorkshire folk song lacked the unique instrumental features of folk in areas like Northumbria and was chiefly distinguished by the use of dialect, particularly in the West Riding and exemplified by the song On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at, probably written in the later nineteenth century and using a Kent folk tune (almost certainly borrowed via a Methodist hymnal), but often seen as an unofficial Yorkshire anthem.[52] Most Yorkshire folk songs were not unique and tended to be adapted to fit local geography and dialect, as with probably the most commercially successful Yorkshire song, Scarborough Fair, recorded by Simon and Garfunkel, which was a version of the Scottish ballad The Elfin Knight.[53]

The most eminent folk performers from the county are the Watersons from Hull, who began recording Yorkshire versions of folk songs from 1965, and members of which are still performing today.[54] Other Yorkshire folk musicians include Heather Wood (b. 1945) of the Young Tradition, the short-lived electric folk group Mr Fox (1970-2), The Deighton Family, Julie Matthews, Kathryn Roberts, and the Mercury Prize nominated Kate Rusby.[55]

Yorkshire has a flourishing folk music culture, with over forty folk clubs and thirty annual folk music festivals.[56] In 2007 the Yorkshire Garland Group was formed to make Yorkshire folk songs accessible online and in schools.[57]

Rock and pop music

Jarvis Cocker, singer for Pulp

Yorkshire has played a significant part in popular music, starting with the unconventional Arthur Brown in the 1960s. During the following decade David Bowie, himself of a father from Tadcaster in North Yorkshire,[58] hired three musicians from Hull in the form of Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey; together they recorded Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, an album that went on to become highly regarded.[59]

Perhaps the most significant time for Yorkshire music in the modern era was the local post-punk scene of the 1980s, where the county produced several significant bands who went on to achieve success, including The Sisters of Mercy, The Cult, Gang of Four, The Human League,Heaven 17, New Model Army, Soft Cell, Chumbawamba, The Wedding Present, The Mission and The Housemartins.[60]

Pulp from Sheffield had a massive hit in the form of Common People during 1995, a song focusing on working-class northern England life.[61] The 2000s saw popularity for indie rock and post-punk revival bands from the area with the Kaiser Chiefs and the Arctic Monkeys, the latter holding the record for the fastest-selling debut album in British music history with Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.[62]

Film and television

Three prominent British television shows filmed in (and based around) Yorkshire are sitcom Last of the Summer Wine, drama series Heartbeat, and soap opera Emmerdale, the latter two of which are produced by Yorkshire Television. Last of the Summer Wine in particular is noted for holding the record of longest-running comedy series in the world, from 1973 until present.[63]

Several noted films are set in Yorkshire, including Kes, This Sporting Life and Room at the Top. A comedy film set in Sheffield named The Full Monty, won an Academy Award and was voted the second best British film of all-time by ANI.[64] The county is also referenced in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life during a segment on birth where title card read, "The Miracle of Birth, Part II — The Third World". The scene then opened into a mill town street, subtitled "Yorkshire".[65] Monty Python were also known to perform the Four Yorkshiremen sketch live, which first featured on At Last the 1948 Show.[66]
