Robert Willance and horse leapt accidentally from Whitcliffe Scar (212ft) nr Richmond (yes N.Yorks) in November 1606, we don't know a date or indeed his age. When I was away on a trainee engineer course I wrote a song of the tale and sang it at the Leap as part of the centenary celebrations in 2006.
It did happen in Nov but that doesn't get a mention in the song.
