Arthur Cecil Champion (27 August 1889 – 31 January 1977) was an Anglican priest and British Army chaplain.
He began his career as a curate: first at Saint James Church, Moss Side, from 1912 to 1914, and then at Longridge from 1914 to 1915.
[6] This was followed by his appointment as vicar of Compton Gifford, Plymouth from 1923 to 1929, and Christ Church, Clifton Down from 1929 to 1938.
In sharing his thanks with the parishioners, Champion remarked that he was the first vicar over the last three hundred years to leave the parish for another living.
[7] After serving as rector of South Perrott from 1951 to 1956, Champion retired from ministerial duties.
