:Clarkson was the son of Rev. John Clarkson (1710–1766), an Anglican priest. His family included a younger brother, John Clarkson. Thomas attended Wisbech Grammar School where his father was headmaster; then he went on to St Paul's School in London in 1775. He did his undergraduate work at St John's College, Cambridge, beginning in 1779. An excellent student, he appears to have enjoyed his time at university, although he was also a serious, devout man. He received his B.A. degree in 1783 and was set to continue at Cambridge to follow in his father's footsteps and enter the Anglican Church. He was ordained a deacon but never proceeded to priest's orders. | :Clarkson was the son of Rev. John Clarkson (1710–1766), an Anglican priest. His family included a younger brother, John Clarkson.
