Compton is one of Surrey's prettiest villages, with a wide variety of period listed buildings, a wealth of history and for those who seek it, a community spirit reminiscent of days gone by.
Compton war memorials
As November approaches and
another anniversary of the
Armistice, it is time once more
to remember those who fought and died during the two world wars. For the last few weeks, Phil Gorton has been doing some genealogical research into the men who are listed on the four memorials in the village and has produced potted histories of most of those who did not return.

Watts Gallery
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) have unlocked the £4.3 million grant that will enable a two-year major restoration project to begin in the autumn. To secure this lifeline, Watts Gallery has had to raise almost £4 million, which has been made possible by the wonderful efforts and generosity of the local community.
