- JAMES METCALFE, of Nappa in Wensleydale, co. York, Esquire, described in the Visitations of 1584 and 1665 as having been a captain in France at the Battle of Agincourt, 3 Hen. V., 1415, lord of the manor of Nappa before 9 Hen. V., in which year, Margaret, widow of Richard, Lord Scrope, of Bolton, claims dower in said manor. In 11 Edward IV., Elizabeth, widow of Henry, Lord Scrope, releases to him and his heirs all the lands, &c., in Nappa which lately belonged to Richard, Lord Scrope, father of the said Henry. In 10 Hen. VI. described as "James Metcalfe, of Nappay under the Skar, in the parish of Aysgarth, co. York, Gentleman." In 30 Hen. VI. styled "James Metcalfe, of Nappay in Wensladale, co. York, Esquire." He founded the chantry of St. Anne in the church of St. Oswald, at Askrigg, and afterwards altered the endowment thereof by exchanging lands, which he held of the King in capite, for the lands which he gave to the said chapel at the foundation thereof, which were not held of the King. Inquisition at York Castle, touching the same, 12 October, 8 Edward IV. (1469.) Daily Mass was to be said and prayers offered "for the good estate of our Lord the King and his most dear consort Elizabeth, Queen of England (Edward IV. and Elizabeth); also the the good estate of the souls of John Metkalff, also Thomas Metkalff, and Myles Metkalff, sons of the said James, whilst they live, and for their souls when from this life they pass away; also for the soul of Richard, late Earl of Salisbury, and for the souls of John Metkalff and Alice, his wife, father and mother of the said James, and for all the sons and daughters of the said James, and for the souls of all the benefactor of the aforesaid James, and for the souls of all the faithful departed" (see Inquistion, 8 Edward IV.) In the chapel of St. Anne, which is on the south side of the chancel, there is a black marble slab, from which the brass has been torn, which has probably lain over, and commemorated the founder, James Metcalfe, and his wife. The grooves remaining show half-length figures of a man and woman with hands clasped in prayer. The inscription has been beneath the figures. Over each figure is a scroll, once containing some pious inscriptions, such as "Jesu Mercy." "Lady pray." and above all there appears to have been a figure of Our Blessed Lady and the infant Jesus.
