Henry Scudder was a prominent Presbyterian minister. He graduated from Christ’s College at Cambridge in 1606, and became a Presbyterian minister—first at Drayton in Oxfordshire, and then Collingborn-Dukes, in Wiltshire, in England. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly in 1643, and became a proponent of the Westminster Confession of Faith. He also preached before the House of Commons in 1644.
