caption_attribution_description: English: The Old Rectory - Compton Pauncefoot. Next to the village church is the former Georgian rectory, dating from the mid C18, and Grade II listed.
context_page_description: Compton Pauncefoot is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated beside the A303 road, 5 miles south west of Wincanton in the South Somerset district. The parish had a population of 139 in 2011. The civil parish also includes the village with Blackford and therefore population is based on the two villages together. Blackford parish was merged with Compton Pauncefoot on 1 April 1933. The civil parish holds a Parish Meeting twice a year and has no Parish Council.
  There are approximately 35 houses in the village of Compton Pauncefoot and a similar number in Blackford. Compton Pauncefoot is a designated Conservation Area. The civil parish is in the Blackmore Vale ward of South Somerset District Council and Somerset County Council.
context_section_description: Compton Castle was built for Mr Hussey Hunt about 1825, in a Gothic style with large grounds, gatehouse, and lawns stretching down to a lake.
   It was sold in 1986 by the Showering family (of Babycham fame).
  It should not be confused with Compton Castle (a fortified manor house in the village of Compton, about 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Torquay).
  The Old Rectory has Georgian, additions to an earlier building.  Recently this house and the church were used quite extensively in a serialised version of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park.
  The mainly 18th-century Manor House includes parts which date back to the 15th century.
  The Crescent is a quarter circle of cottages built in about 1815 for farm workers, and originally known as Waterloo Crescent.
