Richard of Ingworth was a Franciscan preacher who was influential in introducing the order to England. He first appears with the other friars who came with Agnellus of Pisa to England in 1224, and is said to be the first Franciscan to preach north of the Alps. When he arrived in England, he was not young, and had already been a priest for some times. Ingworth was responsible for the establishment of the first Franciscan house in London, and his efforts were greatly responsible for their first convents, in Northampton and in Oxford, where Ingworth served as custodian for a time.
