He was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and, after being ordained, became vicar of Bromfield, Cumberland, the advowson of which church was purchased by his father.

Also on her right hand is interred the hodj of the said Rev. John Thomlinson, a worthy benefactor to this parish, who was rector above 41 years, who departed this life May 23, 1720, aged 69 years.' On a neighbouring tablet are commemorated Mr. Thomlinson's benefactions to the school of Rothbury, to the school and almshouse at Wigton and to the vicarage of Wigton. John Thomlinson's will is dated 12 Feb., 171920.
