Stoop, was a millionaire who made his money in the oil industry, and like his brother Frank was an arts patron of some renown.^[1]

Stoop, a centre, played his rugby for Harlequins and won four national caps from 1910 to 1913, the first three as a teammate of his elder brother Adrian Stoop, England's stand-off.^[2][3]

During World War I, Stoop was a East Kent Regiment officer and suffered shrapnel wounds in 1916.^[4]
