church of this village is remarkable
both for size and beauty. Brompton
is usually considered as the birth-place
of John of Brompton, the monkish his-
torian, whose Chronicon reaches from
the year 558 to 1198, a work valuable
for its collection of Saxon laws, but it
is doubtful whether this person were the
author, or that he merely presented it
to the monastery of Jerveaux, of which
he was abbot. Brompton Hall is the
seat of Sir George Cayley, Bart., whose
family have resided here for two cen-
turies, but who were originally from
Norfolk. This parish contains the
