Mynors was educated at Marlborough College, and received a BA from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1926 (subsequently promoted to Master of Arts in 1929).[2][4][7] He was also an assistant lecturer at Cambridge.[7]

In October 1939, he married Lydia Minns, daughter of his fellow academic, Sir Ellis Minns, Disney Professor of Archaeology: the couple had six children.

Mynors' twin brother was Roger Mynors, a classical scholar.[8] The brothers lived together with their families at Treago Castle in the latter part of their lives.[8]
