John Thornton

Categories: Commerce, Religion

Philanthropist who promoted Christian missionary work. Died following an accident at Bath. He is listed on the plaque as a menber of the Clapham Sect but it did not really get going until his death so it's probable that his support was through Henry's, his son's, inheritance.
