Harriet Monsell (1811 – 25 March 1883) founded the Community of St John Baptist, an order of Augustinian nuns in the Church of England dedicated to social service, which by her death had expanded to numerous houses, including in India and the Americas.[1] She is now remembered in the calendar of saints in some parts of the Anglican Communion on 26 March.[2]
