She was born in Wincanton in Somerset in 1885 to Samuel Deanesly and his wife, Clara Maria, née Dowding, and educated at Godolphin School, Salisbury, and Newnham College, Cambridge, where she achieved a double first in the History tripos in 1912. She received the Arthur Hugh Clough Scholarship in 1912. At Newnham she was a friend and collaborator of Hope Emily Allen, who introduced Deanesly to her first scholarly project by sending her a bibliography of Richard Rolle. Deanesly then received her MA from the University of Manchester in 1915 and carried out a Marion Kennedy research studentship in 1916–1917. She held a D.Litt. from the University of Lambeth.
