William Arnold (architect) (flourished 1595–1637) [A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects 1600-1840, Howard Colvin 1978] was an important master mason in Somerset, England.
Little is known about him, but he is known to have been living in Charlton Musgrove near Wincanton in 1595 where he was church warden. His first known commission was for the design of Montacute House in c1598. This is one of the finest Elizabethan mansions in the country and was designed for Sir Edward Phelips. Other works include the remodelling of a hunting lodge at Cranborne to form the Manor House for Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury in 1607–1610. He was then commissioned in 1610–1613 by Dorothy Wadham, a Somerset resident, to design and oversee the building of Wadham College, Oxford. His last known work was remodelling Dunster Castle in 1617 for the owner George Luttrell. The interiors were completely modernised in the 1680s, and the exterior work only partially survives as Anthony Salvin remodelled and extended the castle in 1868.
