  • Compton was the son of Henry Compton, 1st Baron Compton of Compton Wynyates, Warwickshire and his second wife Anne Spencer, daughter of Sir John Spencer of Althorp, Northamptonshire.[1] He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford on 8 June 1599.

He was re-elected MP for East Grinstead in 1625, 1626 and 1628, sitting until 1629, when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years. He was custos brevium, court of common pleas in about 1630.[1]
  • In April 1640 Compton was re-elected MP for East Grinstead in the Short Parliament.[1] He was subject to a fine in the aftermath of the English Civil War.
  • Compton lived at Brambletye, Sussex.[2] He died in or before July 1649, because on that date the committee for compounding ordered that the balance of his fine should be paid by the heirs to his estate.[1]

  • Henry COMPTON
  • Born: ABT 1584, Brambletye, East Grinstead, Sussex, England
  • Died: ABT 1649
  • Notes: Educated Christ Church Oxf. 1599; L. Inn 1602. Associate bencher, L. Inn 1604; custos brevium, court of common pleas C.1630; ranger, Ashdown forest; j.p. Suss. dep. lt. by 1624. It was his connexion with the Sackville family that secured Compton his parliamentary seat at East Grinstead, though his own residence was close by. His association with the Sackvilles began in boyhood, when, in 1592, his mother made a second and disastrous marriage to Robert Sackville, second Earl of Dorset, then a widower. His own marriage naturally strengthened the connexion. Compton died in or before Jul 1649, when the committee for compounding ordered that the heirs to his estate should pay the balance of his fine. No will has been found. Have no confirmation as of yet that Henry was indeed son of Henry Compton and Cecily Sackville. History of Parliament simply states that Henry and Cecily had ?3 sons and 3 daughters. It seems highly likely however given the ties to the Sackville family between the Comptons and Bridges families.
