The Estate, which includes more than 40,000 sq ft of high-quality office space, 4,000 acres of farmland and over 40 residential lets, has been owned by Lord St Oswald's family for over 350 years.

Originally developed by Lord St Oswald in 2004, the thriving business park celebrates its 21st anniversary this year. It is home to 50 diverse businesses and over 400 employees.

Estate Director Peter Molyneux explained: “We are incredibly proud of The Nostell Estate, which turns 21 this year. It is a magnificent illustration of how the Wakefield region is such a wonderful place to work.

“The present Lord St Oswald took over the running of the Nostell Estate in 1984. His vision was instrumental in successfully developing the former Estate Yard and Rear Walled Garden into prestigious office accommodation. Today, our unique business park features an eclectic mix of Scheduled Ancient Monument buildings, Grade II listed and contemporary buildings, with 24-hour access and unlimited parking plus Meridian, our very popular café run by our catering partner, Little Bakes.

“Our business park lies in the shadow of the historic Nostell Priory, whose ownership was transferred to the National Trust by the Lord St Oswald’s family in 1953. The Priory provides a stunning backdrop to our business park and its beautiful grounds are the perfect place to relax during a busy working day.”
