John Barton (writer)
John Barton (15th century) was an English writer on Lollardy. Barton appears to have flourished in the reign of Henry V, to whom he dedicated his 'Confutatio Lollardorum.'

Throughout his career, his primary concern was poverty. "The poor grow more miserable as the rich grow more wealthy," he wrote in 1846.
