Atherley was born in Southampton, the son of Arthur Atherley and Susanna Carter, and was the fifth successive member of the Atherley family to be baptised as "Arthur".

After finishing his education at Eton, he went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was admitted a pensioner on 6 May 17 ...
