William Thorowgood was born about 1554 in Norfolkshire, England. His parents are unknown and he is thought to have been married three times. William married Anne Edwards about 1583 and had at least eight children, including seven sons.

In 1585 William was appointed Rector at St. Botolph, Grimston, County Norfolk, England. He was commissary to the Bishop of Norfolk. The church in Grimston dates to earlier than 1200, possibly hundreds of years older. Some of the bricks in the oldest part of the church have been dated to before 410, though they may have been taken from an older structure. According to the churches records William had ten sons that were baptized there.

William's son, Thomas, succeeded him as Rector in 1625. Another son, Edward, became Rector of the nearby Massingham Parish. William's son, Robert was Mayor of Lynn in 1656.

Anne died before 1615 when William remarried to Mary (last name unknown), they had at least one son. In 1625 William married again to Alice (last name unknown), no children are known from their marriage.

William died about 1635 and is presumably buried at the Church he served.
