Under 'Brompton', the sign on entry to the village reads 'The Birthplace Of Aviation' owing to the long-term residence of pioneering aeronautical engineer Sir George Cayley. Brompton has been the seat of the Cayley family since the Middle Ages, and Sir George Cayley was buried in the graveyard of All Saints' Church in 1857.

The poet William Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson at All Saints' Church in the village, on 4 October 1802. [3] A copy of the wedding certificate can be seen in All Saints Church.

Low Hall, off Barnard Lane, is the former manor house of the village; the current building dates from the 17th century and is Grade II listed. [4]
