Previous Lords:
The Prior of Poughley had a manor of COMPTON comprising the grants made to him by various persons. After the suppression of Poughley by Cardinal Wolsey the manor was given to his college at Oxford. On Wolsey's attainder the king granted it to the Prior and convent of Westminster. The estate seems to be comprised by the woods in Compton granted to John Carleton in 1541 after the dissolution of St. Peter, Westminster.
