Sir Arthur Hopton KB (died 20 November 1607), of Witham, Somerset, was an English politician.
[1] He married Rachel, daughter of Edmund Hall of Greatford, Lincolnshire: the marriage was arranged by May 1566.
Sir Ralph Hopton, who made himself responsible for Rachel's upbringing, arranged her marriage to Arthur and settled the reversion of most of his lands upon them in tail male, including his estate of Witham Friary in Somerset.
[10] The estates were settled upon Brooke the younger by 1598,[11] who made his seat at the former Hopton manor of Westwood (Blythburgh) before rebuilding Cockfield Hall at Yoxford, all of which by marriage descended in a later generation to the Blois family.
During the Spanish Armada crisis of 1588, Arthur Hopton commanded one of the regiments of the Somerset Trained Bands that marched to join Queen Elizabeth I and her army at Tilbury.
