Early Life
Collier was born at the rectory of Steeple Langford, Wiltshire. He entered Pembroke College, Oxford, in July 1697, but in October 1698 he and his brother William became members of Balliol.
His father having died in 1697, it was arranged that the family living of Langford Magna should be given to Arthur as soon as he was old enough.
