HISTORY…

Agnes Jones House is named after one of the most influential figures in 19th century British medicine.

Agnes Elizabeth Jones was Liverpool Workhouse Infirmary’s first ever trained Nursing Superintendent in the mid-1800s. Known in medical circles for her unwavering work ethic and dedication to her patients, Agnes even came to the attention of the world-renowned nurse, Florence Nightingale.

After Agnes passed away in 1868 at the age of 35 having suffered from Typhus Fever, Nightingale claimed her counterpart was “one of the most valuable lives in England”.

Three years before her death, Agnes had accepted an invitation to lead in the introduction of trained nursing at Liverpool Workhouse Infirmary, one of the largest of its kind in the country. Her contribution to the health of the sick was a subject on everyone’s lips, but her round-the-clock commitment to the cause was ultimately her undoing, as her life was claimed by the disease which was common among the poor of the city at the time.

Nightingale went on to label Agnes a “genius”, and claimed that “she overworked while others underworked”.

Her memory lives on in Liverpool. Not only is Agnes Jones House named after her, there is also a statue in the Cathedral Oratory and a window in the Anglican Cathedral. Agnes is now buried in her birthplace of Ireland.
