The researchers were able to match the physical records from the ice with the written tax records of lead and silver production in England.
Lead had many uses in this time, from water pipes to church roofs to stained glass windows.
But production of the metal was clearly linked to political events according to the authors of this latest research.

I don’t want to do something wrong. How do I know if something is a Getty image so I don’t share it on FR?
It’ll be in the caption for the shot. The mod can delete it for you.
