Shaftesbury, Antony Ashley Cooper, 7th earl of (1801–85). Philanthropist and social reformer. Lord Ashley (as he was styled until 1851) was a strict evangelical who devoted his whole life to promoting asuccession of reform causes: the Ten Hour Bill; the 1842 Mines Act; reform of the lunacy laws; abolition of child chimney‐sweeping; public health and slum housing; ragged schools; the plight of agricultural labourers; training for destitute children (the Shaftesbury homes). He was motivated by a deep religious faith which was simple, rigid, and exclusive. Shaftesbury was the most active champion of Victorian evangelicalism as applied to all aspects of public life. Politically he was a Tory and opposed all forms of popular democracy.
