Crompton is an English surname of Anglo-Saxon origin.[1]
The name was first found in Crompton, England, where the family held a seat from the middle ages.
The Crompton family have a well documented history. Crompton first appears as a family name when the De La Legh family (Norman settlers from the Norman conquest) changed their name to indicate the Anglo-Saxon township they had obtained and settled in during the 13th century. In turn the Crompton family name can be traced back to the time of Magna Carta to the Assize Roll for 1245.
The main lineage of the Crompton family once owned significant country mannors and historic properties in the Crompton area, which included the appropriately named Crompton Hall (now demolished), and Crompton House (which is now a church school).
