Anfride de Chauncy, son and heir of Walter de Chauncy, was Baron and lord of the manor of Skirpenbeck and held other lands in other locations including Waitcroft, Rucroft and Bugthorp.

He married Maud, by whose consent he gave a Carucate in Skirpenbeck to the Hospital of St. Peters in York, and had been assessed five knight's fees in 1157 in the 12th year of the reign of King Henry II. Given the estimated years of birth of his sons Walter de Chauncy and Roger de Chauncy as 1176-1180, and the fact he left them underage when he died in 1195 in the 6th year of the reign of King Richard I, the estimated year of birth of Anfride de Chauncy is about 1135.

Though no burial marker survives, it is likely that Anfride de Chauncy was buried in the churchyard of St. Mary parish in Skirpenbeck.
