Edward John Thornewill was an English racehorse owner and, in his youth, a cricketer who played in one first-class cricket match for Cambridge University in 1856. His birthplace is disputed: in one source, he was born at "Newton, Derbyshire", which may also mean Newton Solney; in another, he was born at the family home, Dovecliff Hall, at Stretton, Staffordshire. He died at Algiers, Algeria.
