A granite obelisk at Richmond Yorkshire honors Robert Willance the hunter of 300 years past. The legend says a lightning fright caused his horse to bolt over a 200 foot cliff, killing the horse and breaking Willance’s leg. He later became mayor, funded memorial stones, and was buried beside the severed leg nine years after the event. A hare skeleton unearthed nearby was claimed as later corroboration of the leap. Willance inscribed a prayer on the stones, and the leap offers a wide view over Swaledale and the moors at about sea level.
