James Bateman was a British landowner and horticulturist. He developed Biddulph Grange after moving there around 1840, from nearby Knypersley Hall in Staffordshire, England. He created the gardens at Biddulph with the aid of his wife Maria and his friend and painter of seascapes Edward William Cooke. From 1865 to 1870 he was the founding president of the North Staffordshire Field Club, an organisation which researched local natural history and folklore.
