Agnes Ramsey (d. 1399), was an English businessperson.[1]
She was the daughter of the famed architect and mason William Ramsey, and married the mason Robert Hubard. She was likely trained in the craft by her father. Upon the death of her father in 1349, she inherited his business. She collected her father's debt and engaged in property transactions, and several of her business transactions are preserved in documents. She was a very successful mason-architect and belonged to the elite of the profession in late 14th-century London. In the 1350s, she was contracted by queen Isabella for the construction of her tomb at the London Greyfriars.
