This article is about the Church of England bishop. For the English painter, see Robert Braithwaite Martineau.
Robert Arnold Schürhoff Martineau (22 August 1913 – 28 June 1999) was a British bishop who was the first Bishop of Huntingdon and who was later translated to Blackburn.
Educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham,[1] and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, he was ordained in 1938. His first post was as a curate at Melksham[2] after which he was a World War II chaplain in the RAFVR.
When peace returned he became Vicar of Ovenden, Halifax, and then Allerton, Merseyside,[3] before his ordination to the episcopate.[4]
