First Edition Book Summary
"Metcalfe - History of the Clan" published by The Metcalfe Society to mark the millennium, 252 pp, A4 hardback publication, (ISBN 0-9533267-0-5) limited edition £24.50 plus P&P

"If you have a family link in Yorkshire, there will be a Metcalfe in your past somewhere" . . . .or so the saying goes! So what is in a name? Well, about 800 years when it comes to the Metcalfes.

It is not too much to claim that a complete history of the Metcalfes at home and abroad would be a microcosm of English history in general. "Metcalfe - History of the Clan" aims at nothing so ambitious, but attempts to put the early development of this large and diverse family into a clear historical context, drawing chiefly upon two very rare books about the Metcalfes, published privately many years ago.

Additional sections deal with the etymology of the name Metcalfe, the family origins in the North Yorkshire towns and dales of the late 12th century, the Metcalfe coat of arms, and brief accounts of the lives and occupations of earlier Metcalfes contributed by members of The Metcalfe Society, that give some idea of the character and diversity of the past. The family trees of no less than 70 branches associated with current members of the society are included to help readers who wish to pursue research further. Through this book, Yorkshire's best known family comes to life.

Obviously, the book will be a must for those people who find the name, Metcalfe, somewhere in their family tree - and especially as a present to family members. In addition, those with an interest in the Dales, Yorkshire, social history and family history in general will find this book highly appealing. This appeal is certainly enhanced by the high quality of both content and presentation, with plenty of colour photographs, maps and other illustrations to enrich and support the text.
