Agnes Beaumont (Baptised 1652 – 1720) was an English religious autobiographer, who was accused of having a sexual relationship with the Puritan preacher John Bunyan and conspiring with him to murder her father.
[2] Beaumont's family did not follow the established Christian denomination of Anglicanism so it was unsurprising when she joined a church in Gamlingay led by the evangelist John Bunyan.
John Beaumont then threw her out of the family home, and refused to let her back in unless she promised to stop attending the church meetings.
He died in 1707 and the following year she married Samuel Storey who was a prosperous fishmonger, but she still owned half of her husband's land in Cheshunt.
"[3]Beaumont's autobiographical narrative was first published in print in An Abstract of the Gracious Dealings of God with Several Eminent Christians in their Conversions and Sufferings (1760) with additional text by the Reverend Samuel James of Hitchin.
