He was a pioneer of deaf education, setting up, with Rev John Townsend and Henry Cox Mason, rector of Bermondsey, Britain's first free school for deaf pupils,[4] the London Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb.[5] Its name and location changed over the centuries;[6] The Royal School for Deaf Children Margate closed in 2015.[7] "Thornton, Henry (1760–1815)," The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics, v. Wikisource has the text of a 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article about Henry Thornton (reformer).	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8607.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8607.txt
