Martin Thornton (11 November 1915–June 1986) was an Anglican priest and spiritual director, author and lecturer on ascetical theology. His "theology of the remnant" has been influential in Anglican circles. He was active for much of his life in the Diocese of Truro, England, serving ten years as the Chancellor of Truro Cathedral. He died in June 1986〔Thornton, ''Prayer'' back cover〕 and was buried in the Townsend Cemetery, Crewkerne, South Somerset District, Somerset, England. His epitaph on his tombstone is "The word of God his Rule / The Glory of God his Aim / And to God the Holy Trinity / was all his guiding." 〔(Rev. Martin S. F.
