Crompton was the son of Samuel and Sarah. His father had been the mayor of Derby in 1782 and 1788. His mother was the daughter of Samuel Fox of Derby. The Crompton family was said to be descended from a Reverend John Crompton who settled in Derbyshire at the time of Charles I.[1] Genealogies of the period refer to the family as the Cromptons of Milford House.[2]

Crompton sat as a Member of Parliament for East Retford in 1818 and served as that member of parliament until that constituency was removed due to the Reform Act. He married Isabella Sophia Hamilton sixth daughter of the Honourable and Rev Archibald Hamilton Cathcart (a son of the ninth Lord Cathcart) and niece to the first Earl Cathcart on 3 November 1829.[1]

In the following year he was elected for Derby which he held until 1834 when he was elected for Thirsk. He supported the premiership of Lord Melbourne but we was not a radical liberal. Such Liberal measures as shortening parliaments or adopting voting by ballot did not enjoy his support.[1] Crompton was created a baronet, of Wood End, Yorkshire, on 21 July 1838.[3] He retired as member for Thirsk in 1841 when he returned to his residence there called Wood End.[1]

Crompton served as Deputy Lieutenant for the North Riding of Yorkshire from 1808[4] and he died aged 63 at the family home. He was survived by his wife and his four daughters: Elizabeth Mary born 5 June 1831, Isabel Sarah born 7 May 1833, Fanny Selina 6 February 1835 and Alice 6 March 1837.[3] However, he died without sons so the baronetcy became extinct.[1]
