From the Wikipedia article
Crompton Hall was an historic house situated at Crompton Fold in the township of Crompton, Lancashire, and within the historic parish of Prestwich-cum-Oldham. Crompton Hall was in the township for hundreds of years. The hall has two known stages, the first being a medieval one, of which the manor existed at least as early as 1442 to provide for Norman conquest settlers, the second was a 19th-century phase, built in c.1848 with much more splendour, and reflected the Crompton's increased affluence much due to the Industrial Revolution which took place in the town. Crompton Hall was demolished in 1952, but much of its forested gardens still remain today. The location of the demolished house, by then within the suburbs of Greater Manchester, was "Buckstones Road, Shaw, Greater Manchester".

Background
History
The Crompton family has a well documented history. Crompton first appears as a family name when the De La Legh family (settlers from the Norman Conquest) changed their name to indicate the Anglo-Saxon township they had obtained and settled in during the 13th century. The family were prosperous landowners of the area, from their initial medieval acquisition, through to the early 20th century. The Crompton family owned a large house by the name of Crompton Hall which first appears in historical records as early as 1442 and owned by Thomas de Crompton and his family. Sir Winston Churchill once stayed at Crompton Hall and he had written letters describing how peaceful and tranquil the area was.
