Henry Young, of Appletreewick, Leadman, was in trouble with the citizens of York over the sale, contrary to their regulations, of 6 fothers and 101 quarters of lead. He had sold it to a London draper at some point between Ripon and Fountains.

The lead was seized by the Chamberlain of York in a dispute about tolls.
