Reverend William Cowherd (1763 – 1816) was a Christian minister serving a congregation in the City of Salford, immediately west of Manchester, and one of the philosophical forerunners of the Vegetarian Society founded in 1847. Cowherd advocated and encouraged members of his then small group of followers, known as Cowherdites to abstain from the eating of meat as a form of temperance.
