British History Online says that William Wells devised the Manor of Catwick to a Richard Hood. A Brother was William Hood.
Marriage of one Richard Hood, mentions Scarborough (think one wife of Richard Hood was from Scarborough)?
From British History Online
"(fn. 48) In 1764 Joseph sold the reunited estate to William Wells, and it had passed by 1787 to Well's devisees Richard Hood and his brother William (d. 1852). (fn. 49)"
May be (fn. 48) or (fn. 49)
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/east/vol7/pp255-261#anchorn49Richard Hood married Susanna Drew 31 Jan 1759 Catwick.
Richard Hood Wine & Sprit Merchant was baptised Leven 1771 and wife was Caroline Helen Hood (abt 20 yrs younger than Richard), born Castle Howard, appearing in the Census at Stamford Bridge.
Using newspapers, I can link Richard Hood of Stamford Bridge, born Leven [next to Catwick] to Wells Hood of York (born Dunnington), a Wine & Spirit Merchant. Richard Hood was also a Seed Merchant.
Also Wells Hood, almost certainly gets "Wells" from William Wells of Catwick.

Wells Hood is reputed to be buried in York Minster?
But when I went to check if my George Hood was buried there in 2nd half of September 1845, the Borthwick had all of the York churches, except the Minster burials?
Richard Hood 24 of Stamford Bridge and Elizabeth Williford 20 of Scarborough got a marriage licence on 23 Apr 1794.
Marriage on same day, but says spouses father's name was William Hale (bride's surname still given as Williford) and her residence was York. (info from another Rootschatter)
