Anthony Wilson Thorold (1826–1895) was an Anglican Bishop of Winchester in the Victorian era. The son of a Church of England priest he also served as Bishop of Rochester. It was in that role that he travelled throughout North America and met with important leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While he wrote a number of devotional books he is best remembered for having recruited Isabella Gilmore to revive the female diaconate in the Anglican Communion.
