Early life
Born in Hammersmith, the first son and second child of Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath, and his wife Anna Gyarmathy, Ceawlin Thynn was educated at Horningsham Primary School, a village school near the family estate of Longleat, in Wiltshire, then at Kingdown School in Warminster and Bedales School in Hampshire; he finally read economics and philosophy at University College London.
He is named after Ceawlin of Wessex, having been born shortly after his father had stood as the Wessex Regionalists' parliamentary candidate in Westbury at the February 1974 United Kingdom general election.
In 1996, Thynn was injured in a building collapse in New Delhi, India, initially thought to be caused by a terrorist bomb, which killed his girlfriend, Jane Kirby, and his business partner, Crinan Wilde.
