Agnes Ashford was a Christian evangelist.
In the 15th Century, Bishop Longland of Lincoln was investigating the activities of the Lollards.[1] His people were informed that Ashford had taught "part of the Sermon on the Mount" to James Morden.[2] Before six bishops, Ashford was warned not to teach these things, even to her own children.[2] Witnesses against her included her son Thomas Tredway, who testified that she had forbidden him to worship the images of saints (see idolatry, iconoclasm).[3]
