Sir Thomas Bathurst was born in 1622. He qualified as a Doctor of Medicine (MD), from the University of Leyden (Leiden) 2 July 1659. He was incorporated at Oxford on 17 March 1661, and was admitted a candidate of the Royal College of Physicians on 25 June 1662.

He was later knighted, and it is thought made a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, although evidence of his admission has not been found (Munk's Roll, vol. I, p.306). Bathurst died in 1688.
