On 11th June 1312, a miracle was recorded when some boys whose sight was failing had their eyes smeared with oil which flowed from the tomb of St John of Beverley. Their sight then began to improve.

On 11th June 1685, Duke of Monmouth, former governor of Hull, landed in Lyme Regis and attempted to seize the throne from James II; on hearing of his rebellion, the Hull garrison was ordered to arm the 6 companies there; there was only enough match and shot for 4 companies, and the arms were often rusty, not having been cleaned for 3 years.
