Ralph Levett, the son of Thomas Levett of High Melton, became a well-known vicar in Lincolnshire after graduating from Christ's College, Cambridge, and corresponded with the Puritan Rev. John Cotton of Boston, Lincolnshire.

William Levett of Normanton and High Melton married Anne, daughter of John Barnby in the late 15th century, about the time when the stained glass was created.[5] The stained glass panel was later removed to St James' Church by John Fountayne when he renovated Melton Hall. Another panel in the home, recorded in the Sheffield archives, showed the arms of Levett impaling those of Reresby of Thrybergh. That panel was apparently subsequently lost.

The Lady Chapel was founded as a Chantry by the Chaplain appointed by the Cistercian Nuns, known as John de Melton [4]. It is recorded that "this very Chantry founded in the Church was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin". The Chantry was originally endowed by Lords of the Manor Hugh Cressi and William Dronfield with lands at Melton, Cadeby, Bentley, Goldthorpe, Adwick-le-Street and Mexborough. With the passing of the first Chantries Act in 1545, the "clear value" of the Chantry in St James' Church was (in 1546) at £5.9s.6½d and the Cantarist is recorded as being one Richard Mawer.
