Sir Charles Compton was a great-great-grandfather of Sir Compton Domvile (b 1773).
* The family motto "Qui Stat Caveat Ne Cadat" tramslates as "Let he who stands (or has status) beware, lest he fall." It is taken from I Corinthians x, 12: "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." (The Bible reference was first brought to our attention by Alex Dumbill.)
