Thorne St Margaret is a village in the civil parish of Wellington Without in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated 3 miles west of Wellington, between the river Tone and the Bristol and Exeter railway.

The rest of the church was rebuilt in 1865, with a west window, with stained glass, added in 1907. The church is built of hard red sandstone and has a baptismal font dating to Saxon times. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.
