Nork did not exist until the 18th or 19th century when it was an agricultural hamlet of Banstead village. It was named after its house built during the reign of Charles II. Nork Park is part of the old estate of Nork House, which was bought by the former Banstead Council in 1947. The park includes the site of Nork House which was demolished around 1930. There are extensive views from the park across West London to Wembley Stadium and beyond.
