Arthur Henry Stanton (1839–1913) was an English Anglo-Catholic priest in the latter decades of the 19th and early 20th centuries. [1]
Born on 21 June 1839, [2] he was educated at Rugby and Trinity College, Oxford, [3] and ordained after a period of study at Ripon College Cuddesdon in 1862. His only post was as Curate at St Alban's, Holborn, [4] 1862–1913. [5] Stanton was an indefatigable champion of the poor, staunch champion of rituals, and exuberant preacher. He attracted devoted supporters and horrified critics in equal measure. In 1877, he founded a society for postmen, the Saint Martin's League. [6] At the end of his life he was offered, and rejected, a prebendal stall in St Paul's Cathedral. [7]
Following his death on 28 March 1913, [2] his funeral took place on 1 April 1913. Fellow clergy escorted his coffin as it was carried on a wheeled bier through the crowded streets from his Holborn church to the London Necropolis railway station, Waterloo for transport to Brookwood Cemetery near Woking where a crowd of 1,000 had assembled for his interment.
