Henry Dunckley (December 24, 1823- June 29, 1896), English journalist, was born at Warwick. Educated at the Baptist college at Accrington, Lancashire, and at the University of Glasgow, he became in 1848 minister of the Baptist church at Salford, Lancashire. Here he closely investigated the educational needs of the working-classes, embodying the results of his inquiries in an essay, The Glory and the Shame of Britain (1851), which gained a prize offered by the Religious Tract Society.
