Parsons was born at 1 Castlegate, Grantham, Lincolnshire, the middle child, with an older brother and a younger sister. His father was a general practitioner in Vine Street, whose patients included the parents of Margaret Thatcher. It is possible he delivered the future Prime Minister in 1925. His mother, born in Bristol to a founder of local company W.B. Maggs & Co., was training as a nurse when she met Parsons' father in a hospital.
Parsons was born left-handed but was made to write with his right hand. As a child, Parsons had a stutter, which he overcame by the age of 15, and was slow to learn owing to dyslexia. He also suffered migraines. Educated at St Paul's School in London, he wanted to be an actor.

However, his parents considered that a career in engineering would be better, as he had repaired clocks and was good with his hands.
