See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

I have looked everywhere I can think of - on the web and in encyclopaediae - to find a detailed biography of Martin Thornton, and have come up completely blank. As well, I own several of his books, but they are extremely sketchy in personal details, so I have put out this stub in the hope of stimulating a little collective research about a remarkable person.

Susan Fiore, on Amazon.com, writes this review of A Joyful Heart which beautifully captures Thornton's spirit:

A Joyful Heart is subtitled Meditations for Lent, but far from being somber, it's pure fun. Martin Thornton addresses the serious issues of being Christian by looking at some surprising things: woodlice, a girl who comes to mass in Truro Cathedral in a bikini. And he has a surprising take on these, expressed with a wonderful sense of humor. Do your heart good and read this slim volume.
