Henry Ashworth (nonconformist) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Ashworth (nonconformist) Henry Ashworth (1794-1880) was an English cotton manufacturer, friend of Richard Cobden, and vigorous supporter of the Anti-Corn Law League. ==Early life and business career== Ashworth was born at Birtwistle, near Bolton, Lancashire, on 4 September 1794, in a Quaker family. He was sent to Ackworth School run by the Society of Friends. He, in partnership with his brother Edmund, managed mills at Turton, expanding a business of their father, John Ashworth. Benevolent employers, they established schools, a library and a reading room. Ashworth was a staunch nonconformist, and refused to pay church rates. He supported the schemes of Edwin Chadwick to implement the Poor Law of 1834; but was a tough opponent of trades unions. In a dispute with Edmund, the business was split, with Henry taking the mill at New Eagley.
