James Hampton (priest)
James Hampton (1721–1778) was an English cleric and writer, known as the translator of the Ancient Greek historian Polybius.
==Life==
Baptised on 2 November 1721, Hampton was the son of James Hampton of Bishop's Waltham, Hampshire. He entered Winchester College in 1733, and was elected a scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, matriculating on 20 July 1739. At Oxford Hampton was noted for his scholarship and violent behaviour, on one occasion provoking a quarrel by kicking over a tea-table in the rooms of William Collins with whom he'd been at school. He graduated B.A. in 1743, and M.A. in 1747, and took holy orders.
Lord-chancellor Henley presented Hampton, in 1762, to rectory of Monkton-Moor, Yorkshire on the basis his Polybius translation: Hampton dedicated to Henley the second edition of the work. In 1775 he obtained the sinecure rectory of Folkton, Yorkshire, which he held with his other benefice.〔
Hampton died at Knightsbridge, Middlesex, apparently unmarried, in June 1778. He left his property to William Graves of the Inner Temple.〔
