There are twenty buildings listed as being of architectural
or historic importance in Compton Chamberlayne.
Here you can see one of them -- the only Grade I building, Compton Park House
-- from the only Grade II* building, the Church of St Michael.

"Compton House was built in 1550 by Sir Edward Penruddocke,
who came from the Cumberland village of Penruddock
near Greystoke and Penrith.

"The church is thus three hundred years older than the great house
which, with it, dominates and graces the valley."
