	Tudor Houses, Tudor Homes & Architecture
		The suppression of the monasteries (A.D. 1536-40) enabled Henry VIII to distribute vast sums of money and great tracts of land among his courtiers, many of whom were also rich and prosperous citizens, who gratified their ambition as landed proprietors by the erection of houses suitable to their newly acquired rank.
		The Tudor Manor house of the sixteenth century was a continuance of the fifteenth century type ; the rooms were grouped round a quadrangular court, as at Compton Wynyates (Warwickshire) and Sutton Place (Guildford).

	The Compton Pages
		In 1980 Linda and I divorced, and I remarried in 1982 to Nancy Dickson Compton.
		Comptons are an ancient family, traceable to the Anglo-Saxon Alwyne, circa (ca.) 1042, a contemporary to King Edward the Confessor, in the times before surnames.
		It is reported both Comptons and Bownes were Baptists and left to escape religious persecution, but the political and land patent conflicts between the Dutch and British between 1650-1670, which ultimately resulted in New Netherlands being titled to the British and becoming New York around 1670, were undoubtedly the principal cause for this particular migration.

	Compton Wynyates
		Compton Wynyates, [[Warwickshire, circa 1925]] However, the story of the family who have lived there for over five hundred years, is less than idyllic, and their history is perhaps more inextricably linked to the history of their house, than that of any other family and mansion in England.
		Following the restoration of the monarchy, the Comptons too were restored to their estates, as Compton Wynyates was now the minor family house it tended to be the country home of the heir, minor alterations were made but usually sympathetically to the Tudor origins.
		This was achieved but the result was the Marquis and his family returned to make Compton Wynyates their sole country house, thus one of England's most beautiful houses is once again private family house, the purpose for which it was created.

	channel4.com - Time Team - Tudor 'prodigy houses'
		Compton Wynyates, in Warwickshire, with its great crenellated towers; Sutton Place, in Surrey, for which Henry brought in Italian craftsmen; East Barsham Manor, in Norfolk, with its magnificent terracotta decoration; and Layer Marney Hall, in Essex, with its immense, eight-storey gatehouse towers – all these, and many more, were contemporary with Rycote.
		As well as Wolsey's Hampton Court, Sutton Place was built by the Cardinal's assistant, Sir Richard Weston; Compton Wynyates was built by a man who became Esquire of the King's Body; and Layer Marney Hall was the work of the Captain of the King's Bodyguard.
		Large enough to accommodate the entire king's court on its travels, the great houses acted as super-hotels for monarchs and their vast entourages, as well as for other aristocratic travellers of the time.

	What to See in England - Compton Wynyates (by Gordon Home)
		Compton Wynyates, the seat of the Marquess of Northampton, is one of the most beautiful Tudor houses in England, and although Warwickshire is exceedingly rich in castles and fine old houses, it can show nothing to surpass this time-worn pile of red brick and stone.
		Though the moat, which was the outer guard of the place, has been partly filled in and converted into smooth lawns, one of the most romantic aspects of the house is to be seen across an angle of the watery enclosure.
		The house was built by Sir William Compton during the reign of Henry VIII., with the exception of some additions, including the great parlour panelled with oak, which dates from the days of Queen Elizabeth.
