Tyrwhitt was born on 1 September 1765. He was the eldest son of Captain John Tyrwhitt, RN, of Netherclay House, Bishop's Hull, Somerset, and the former Katherine Booth, daughter and heiress of the Very Rev. Peniston Booth, Dean of Windsor and Katherine (née Jones) Booth (a daughter of the Revd Canon Edward Jones).[2] Among his siblings was Richard Tyrwhitt, a barrister who married Elizabeth Lipyeatt.[3]
He was educated at Winchester and Christ Church, Oxford. He succeeded his cousin Sir Thomas Jones in 1782, adopting the additional surname of Jones in 1790.[2]
