Rhyme for Bradford’s 1825 Bishop Blaise procession.
On the third of February every seven years Bradford woolcombers organised a procession celebrating Bishop Blaise, an Armenian Saint reputedly martyred with woolcombs. The last procession in 1825 was one of the biggest Bradford ever had.
Around a decade ago Bradford poet Glyn Watkinsbegan a revival pf the procession. Now this Wool Day has become part of a growing movement that aims to create an annual celebration of Bradford’s proud wool heritage.
