Portrait of Thomas Manton, half length in an ornamental oval frame on a pedestal, long hair, wearing skull-cap, bands and gown; coat of arms below; frontispiece to his 'Works' (1681). Thomas Manton (1620-1677) was an English Puritan clergyman. He held ministries at Sowton and Colyton (1640-1645), at Stoke Newington (1645-1656) and Covent Garden (1656-1662).

Since Manton was on favourable terms with Charles II he was offered the Deanery of Rochester, but he refused on conscience grounds.
