James Macarthur (7 June 1848 – 2 May 1922) was a British

Anglican Bishop in the late 19th and early 20th century.[1]

Macarthur was educated at the

Bishop of Bombay[3] in 1898. After 5 years he was translated
to Southampton.

In 1909, he gave the

North Stoneham church in memory of his wife, Emily.[4] It was designed by Isle of Wight architect Percy Stone, and built of oak timber taken from HMS Thunderer which took part in the Battle of Trafalgar.[5]

On 31 December 1920, he resigned his see in ill health; but remained

assistant bishop for the Island.[6]
On 2 May 1922, Macarthur died.
