<br />
==Early life==<br />
Arbuthnot was born at [[Brighton]] in [[Sussex]], the son of William and Elizabeth Arbuthnot. His father was a partner in the Indian banking firm [[Arbuthnot & Co]] based in [[Madras]] and was a member of the Indian Council.<ref name=carlaw17>Carlaw D ''Kent County Cricketers A to Z. Part One: 1806-1914'', pp.17–18. ([https://archive.acscricket.com/books/Kent_Cricketers_A_to_Z_Part_One.pdf Available online] at the [[Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians]]. Retrieved 2019-12-21.)</ref> He was the grandson of [[Sir William Arbuthnot, 1st Baronet]].<br />
<br />
The family lived at Brigden Place in [[Bexley]] in [[Kent]] and Arbuthnot was educated at [[Rugby School]].<ref name=rugby287>Mitchell AT (1902) ''Rugby School Register'', vol.2, p.287. Rugby: A.J. Lawrence. ([https://archive.org/details/rugbyschoolregis02rugbuoft/page/286 Available online].

<br />
==Business career==<br />
After leaving school Arbuthnot spent an extended time in India on business working for the family firm as well as working in England as a coffee broker.

Retrieved 2017-03-20.</ref><ref name=rugby287/> The firm failed "spectacularly" in 1906, although Arbuthnot was wealthy enough to continue to live in London without needing to work.<ref name=carlaw17/><br />
