Hursley House
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. See this pdf for the history of IBM Hursley http://viewer.zmags.com/getMagPdf.php?mid=hrwww

Stable Block attached to Hursley House, IBM Hursley Laboratory
This building appears to be attached to the western end of Hursley House. It occupies three sides of a square, the other side being on the right of the photo. Probably originally a coach house and stables. It is now known as R and T Block. The keystone of the arch below the clock on the far side of the building has the date 1829 and letters which may possibly include WH. It is likely therefore that this block was built by William Heathcote who became the fifth baronet in 1825 ( http://www.hursley.hampshire.org.uk/history_of_hursley.htm#Heathcote ).
