Arthur Hamilton Baynes (23 March 1854 – 30 June 1942)[1] was a Church of England priest and Bishop of Natal and Maritzburg[lower-alpha 1] from 1893[2] to 1901.

He was born in Lewisham, Kent, the son of Joseph Ash Baynes and Mary Elizabeth Beard, and following ordination in 1882 was Domestic Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, E.W. Benson, from 1888 to 1892. In 1893[3] he was appointed to the bishopric of Natal. During the Boer War, while Bishop of Natal, he was an army chaplain.[4]

After returning to England from Natal, Baynes was Vicar of St Mary's Church, Nottingham, and also an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Southwell and an honorary canon of Southwell Minster from 1905 until 1913. During World War I he was again an army chaplain.[1] We was later Provost of Birmingham Cathedral (and an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Birmingham) until his retirement in 1937.
