Katherine of Ledbury (also known as Katherine de Audley or St. Katherine of Ledbury; born 1272) was a Gloucestershire-born noblewoman of the 13th century who became an anchoress in Ledbury, Herefordshire. Although never officially canonized, Katherine was the subject of William Wordsworth's sonnet, “St. Catherine of Ledbury,” and is remembered as a patron saint of that town.[1] She has often been confused with the 4th century martyr Catherine of Alexandria, whose cult in Ledbury preexisted hers.[4]
