John Bell Crompton: An Overview
My knowledge of John Crompton comes from information supplied to me
by Sheila Howells who has researched this from many sources including
the Crompton Papers in the Derby Local History Library.
A note from Elizabeth Ford reads:
I live
in the parish of Newborough, Staffordshire, England and in the church is a
plaque which reads 'In memory of Elizabeth daughter of John Crompton Esq of
the Lilies Derbyshire and wife of Thomas Kirkpatrick Hall Esq of Hollybush in
this parish who died on the 13th of November 1836 in the 26th year of her
marriage also 48th year of her age. Most truly beloved and lamented. Also of
Thomas Kirkpatrick Hall, born April 9th 1776 died January 3 1865'. The
present church dedicated to All Saints was only consecrated in 1901 and this
plaque, along with others was taken from the previous church.
Also in the
church are :-
(Lecturn) 'In memory of Emma Selina Hall d Ap 24 1869 and of
Lorenzo Kirkpatrick Hall d Aug 24 1888 this lecturn is dedicated to the glory of
God by Kathleen Mary Parker, her husband William Biddulph Parker and their three
other daughters; Jane Emma, Edith Millicent and Evelyn Constance Hall AD
1900'.
(Organ) 'To the glory of God and in affectionate memory of their
fathers Charles John Clay and Lorenzo Kirkpatrick Hall this organ for many years
a Hollybush is presented and enlarged by Arthur Joseph Clay and re-erected in
this place by Edward Kirkpatrick Hall September 27 1913'.
(Bells) 'AD 1900.
The four b=old bells were recast and the fifth given by Edward Kirkpatrick Hall
to the glory of God and in memory of his parents Lorenzo Kirkpatrick and Emma
Selina Hall of Hollybush' (Hollybush is a large country house, still in
existence today in the parish).I hope this is of interest
Good hunting
