History

Since medieval times when the land was exclusively used for agriculture, Pury Hill has been a peaceful countryside beauty spot close to the Tove Valley. The origins of the Business Park lie in Pury Hill Farm, a working mixed arable and dairy farm once part of  the Wakefield Estate, owned by the Dukes of Grafton. The Farm House itself and the outbuildings, which are the nucleus of the Business Park today, date back to the early 1800s. In 1986 the Farm closed and the dairy herd was sold off, while the buildings were converted for commercial use. The seeds were sown for progressive commercial premises in 1995-6 when Tithe Barn Court office was built on the site of the old hay and straw barns, the first of the many bespoke superior quality business environments which characterise Pury Hill Business Park.

With a by-pass road built in 2001 providing better transport links, additional new-build office space, and extensive parking facilities, the site has continued to develop its facilities. However, the traditional countryside feel has been preserved by planting and landscaping to complement the natural beauty of the surrounding area, the establishment of a large pond and rustic seating areas. New premises have been built using traditional reclaimed local materials to retain the tranquil rural ambience. The Park sees itself as providing the ideal balance between nature and business, blending harmoniously with the countryside to promote an air of tranquillity and peace.
