Hursley House was built in 1720 by Sir William Heathcote, and was extended and refitted by Lady Mary Cooper in 1902-1911. It was bought by IBM in 1958 and is now IBM Hursley Laboratory, the largest IBM software development site in Europe. It employs 2,800 people and has responsibility for a portfolio of IBM middleware components and products in the areas of Service Oriented Architecture, transaction processing, commercial messaging and storage virtualisation. Many other large buildings have been built by IBM within the park.
