"Perhaps but lead stretches in the heat and does not contract (as harder
metals do) at night."

Bloody hell, did you not know that lead pours down hill at the
temperatures experienced on British roofs?

Why do you suppose that the more wealthy owners had copper on their
roofs rather than lead? What did you suppose to be the reason that the
optimum lengths of lead sheathing mentioned somewhere above, was
specified for?

Ease of handling?
