Interestingly there was another William Arnold, also born in the UK West country and a distinguished architect. His dates - though unknown - would appear to coincide roughly with the Rhode Island immigrant.

Arnold the architect is widely regarded as perhaps the last of the mediaeval master masons in England before the modern concept of architect took hold in the renaissance. Amongst the buildings known to be by him are the very fine Wadham College, Oxford (1611-13) and Montacute House, Somerset ( National Trust).
