Memorial to Caedmon Caedmon / ˈ k æ d m ɒ n / is the earliest English poet whose name is known. An Anglo-Saxon herdsman attached to the double monastery of Streonæshalch (Whitby Abbey) during the abbacy of St. Hilda (657–680), he was originally ignorant of "the art of song" but according to Bede learned to compose one night in the course of a dream.
Yorkshire (/ ˈ j ɔːr k ʃ ər,-ʃ ɪər / YORK-shər, -sheer) is an area of Northern England which was historically a county. [1] Despite no longer being used for administration, Yorkshire retains a strong regional identity. [2] The county was named after its county town, the city of York.
Yorkshire was created soon afterward in 1664. Its jurisdiction included Long Island, Staten Island, Manhattan Island, and the east side of the Hudson River coterminous with today's Bronx and Westchester. [2] Like the original Yorkshire in England for which it was named, Yorkshire, New York was divided into three ridings: East, West and North.
