Description
The John Metcalf memorial is located approximately 15 metres from the east end of the north aisle of the Church of All Saints. This headstone commemorates John Metcalf, who died in 1810. It is made of millstone grit and stands about 1 metre high, featuring a rectangular shape with a shaped top. The inscription, which consists of 16 lines of poetry, details his life and accomplishments, concluding with the date of his death on the 26th of April 1810, at the age of 93. The inscription is signed by 'Jno A. Hilton'. John Metcalf was a notable road surveyor who worked across Yorkshire from 1745 to 1792. He became well-known as 'Blind Jack of Knaresborough' after losing his sight to smallpox at the age of 6, and his portrait is displayed in the council offices in Knaresborough.
