About the author
Agnes Ethel Conway (1885–1950), later known as Agnes Horsfield, was a British writer, historian, and archaeologist. She is best remembered for archaeological work in the Middle East between 1929 and 1936, especially at Petra and Kilwa.
She also wrote on English history, including studies of Allington Castle, which was connected with her family. Sources consistently describe her as a scholar whose interests crossed history, travel, and archaeology, giving her work a wide appeal beyond a single field.
Details about her life are unevenly documented in the sources I found, so this overview keeps to the best-supported points.
