Biographical History
Henry Thornton (1760-1815) was a banker, political economist, and Christian philanthropist who led anti-slavery efforts and supported Christian missions. His home, Battersea Rise, became a meeting place for the evangelical Clapham Sect, led by his friend William Wilberforce. Thornton married Marianne Sykes in 1796; the couple had nine children. Thornton contributed over 80 articles to the Christian Observer, which he helped to found in 1802. He died of consumption in London in 1815.
