Agnes Ethel Conway (2 May 1885 – 1950), later Agnes Horsfield,[1][2] was a British writer, historian and archaeologist who worked in the Middle East from 1929 to 1936.[3] Perhaps best known for her excavations at Petra and Kilwa,[4] she also produced publications on the history of Allington Castle,[5] which had been owned by the Wyatt family in the 16th century.[6]
