THORNE, John, of York, an eminent musician in the middle of the 16th century, is mentioned by Morley in his 'Introduction.' He was probably attached to York Cathedral. A 3-voice motet by him, 'Stella coeli,' is printed in Hawkins's History. He was also a skilled logician. He died Dec. 7, 1573, and was buried in York Cathedral.
