Compton is a small rural civil parish a few miles from Chichester in West Sussex, southern England. It lies on the fringes of the South Downs, with rolling chalk downland and farmland forming a quiet, picturesque setting for the village core.
There is a long local history reflected in a handful of historic buildings and a traditional parish church, while the local economy is still rooted in agriculture alongside many residents who commute into Chichester and beyond. Community life is characteristically village-centred, with a village hall, occasional fetes and a pub acting as hubs for social activity.
