He was a Warden of Wadham College, Oxford and clergyman in the Church of England.

Satirical poetry was written about these events. The following limerick possibly also refers to Thistlethwayte. There once was a Warden of WadhamWho approved of the folkways of Sodom,For a man might, he said,Have a very poor headBut be a fine Fellow, at bottom. Allegations of homosexual behaviour, which was considered scandalous at that time, and the College's decision to take out fire insurance combined to prompt the following verse: Well did the am'rous sone of WadhamInsure their house 'gainst future flame;They knew their crime, the crime of Sodom,And judg'd their punishment the same.
