He had earlier served as its Deputy Governor.[3] He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Kingston upon Hull (with William Wilberforce in 1784) from 1784 to 1806 and for Surrey from 1807 to 1812. He and was a member of the Committee for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. As MP for Kingston he was painted by Karl Anton Hickel in the group portrait "William Pitt addressing the House of Commons on the French Declaration of War, 1793" which still hangs at the National Portrait Gallery.[4] He bought Albury Manor, Albury, Surrey in 1800, and lived there until 1811. He employed the architect Sir John Soane[5] to improve the property. During the early 19th century Thornton built housing in the hamlet of Weston Street, a mile to the west of Albury, for the resettlement of villagers removed from cottages in Albury Park, as part of the agricultural improvements. His brothers Henry Thornton and Robert Thornton were also notable men of their time and MPs.[1] all three were members of the Clapham Sect and lived in adjoining houses in Clapham.[6] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | editor = | others = | title = Gentlemen's Magazine |date=September 1838 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=ZeoIAAAAIAAJ | format = | accessdate = 12 February 2008 | edition = | series = | publisher = F.
