    Yep! And I think 'poor Jud' is buried there there too ;).
    Great eulogy........
    Lyrics
    Pore Jud is daid,
    Pore Jud Fry is daid,
    All gather 'round his cawfin now and cry
    He had a heart of gold
    And he wasn't very old
    Oh why did such a feller have to die?
    Pore Jud is daid
    Pore Jud Fry is daid,
    He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene
    Jud: And serene!
    He's all laid out to rest
    With his hands acrost his chest
    His fingernails have never been so clean!
    Then the preacher'd get up and he'd say:
    Folks, we are gathered here to moan
    And groan over our brother Jud Fry,
    Who hung hisself up by a rope in his smokehouse
    Then there'd be weepin' and wailin'...
    From some of those women. Then he'd say:
    Jud was the most misunderstood man in this here territory.
    People used to think he was a mean ugly feller and they called
    Him a dirty skunk and an ornery pig stealer
    But the folks that really knowed him.
    Knowed that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore
    There beat a heart as big as all outdoors
    As big as all outdoors.
    Jud Fry loved his feller man
    He loved hes feller man
    Curly (Spoken):
    He loved the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.
    He loved the mice and the vermin in the barns, and he treated
    The rats like equals, which was right. And he loved little children.
    He loved everybody and everything in the whole world!
    Only he never let on, so nobody ever knowed it.
    Pore Jud is Daid
    Pore Jud Fry is daid
    His friends'll weep and wail for miles around
    Jud: Miles Around!
    The daisies in the dell
    Will give out a different smell
    Because Pore Jud is underneath the ground.
    Pore Jud is daid
    A Candle lights his haid
    He's layin' in a cawfin made of wood
    Curly: Wood...
    And folks are feelin' sad
    Cause they useter treat him bad
    But now they know their friend is gone for good
    Curly: Good.
    Both: Pore Jud is Daid a candle lights his haid!
    He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
    He looks like he's asleep,
    It's a shame that he won't keep
    But it's summer and we're running out of ice.
    Both: Pore Jud, Pore Jud.

    Us outside the tarn dunt count. I feel worthless. :(
    Tbf for a borough of only 220k+ I’m surprised the town population is as high as 91k.
    That’s a thought, what constitutes the town. I’d have thought less than a mile from the centre, the boroughs begin? Kendray. Lundwood. Worsborough et al.

    And just to the east is what you’d get if Dorothy’s state was owned by Yorkshire folk.

    Interesting, I always though the idea of needing a Cathedral was outdated, have any been granted City status on this basis?

    There’s a few cities that would fail to gain city status under the current rules.

    Ripon has a population of 16000

    It's got a cathedral and has been a city for hundreds of years. These are the requirements to become a city today.
