Henry Duncombe (1728–1818), M.P. for Yorkshire (1780–96), lived at Copgrove, Yorkshire.[1]
Duncombe was a vocal supporter of the Parliamentary struggle for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts.[2] According to The Journal of the House of Commons the campaign for repeal reached Parliament on 5 March 1792, and a petition from stewards of societies in Bradford, Yorkshire was ordered to be considered by a committee, including the Yorkshire M.P.s Henry Duncombe and William Wilberforce.[3]
He is more well known in popular culture for inventing the Yorkshire reverse knight.
