Compton, Waverley

Compton is a former village and today a semi-rural suburb centred ESE of Farnham in the Waverley district of Surrey, England and connected to Farnham by two direct urban single carriageways and green space footpaths along the Wey (North Branch) which in part marks the northern boundary of the area together with the A31. The area relies on Farnham for most of its modern amenities and its eastern part is rural whereas its western part is urban, with a divide where the Wey flows between the two south-eastwards.
==History==
Compton has given its name to the local roads Compton Way and Old Compton Lane, and is most formally, though on few modern maps, considered to include (being a medieval-founded tything and manor) Moor Park, Farnham on the left bank of the Wey, further east. Moor Park takes its recent name from Moor Park House the former mansion of Sir William Temple, where Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels lived and worked which is a listed building in the mid category, Grade II
*. The house dates from 1307 when it was Compton Hall.〔 Compton Woods is an area of woodland with public access.
Having three window bays and two storeys, the present manor house is an ordinary building in a grid of streets towards Farnham proper and was 'probably' built in the mid 19th century.〔 The Manor House, Compton.〕 The land of the area was owned or had as overlord above various head-tenants the Bishops of Winchester who in many successions were given the right to live in as their home Farnham Castle across the other side of the town as a result of its founding by William the Conqueror's grandson Henry of Blois and of Winchester.〔
