The preface is written by Brenda Moon (Larkin’s former deputy at Hull) and the essay was first presented at the annual winter meeting of the Friends of Edinburgh University Library on 2nd December 1986. A brilliant self-deprecating tribute to Larkin.

The Pilgrimage of Grace reached its climax locally #OTD 1536 - 490 years ago. #Hull - despite its medieval walls (pic) - agreed to surrender to the rebels (incuding John Hallam), on condition that no unwilling man be forced to join them. @hull_libraries @HullMaritime

#OTD 1536 #Hull remained under siege by the Pilgrims of Grace. News reached the town that rebels from Woodmansey and Tickton were planning to set fire to ships in the River Hull. Pic from the 1540s Cotton Plan.

During the Pilgrimage of Grace many of the local gentry fled to #Hull. Sir John Constable of Burton Constable said that he'd rather die than live with the shame of joining the rebels. Here's his son, who as a baby was perhaps with his father in Hull. @hull_libraries
