Hirst Priory served as a family residence first for the Stovin family, and later for the Lister family in the 19th century. In 1903, the property was purchased by D. Stubley for £18,000. In the early 1990s, a development group purchased Hirst Priory in order to develop a hotel and leisure complex, but these plans were abandoned. In 2014, Hirst Priory was converted to a wedding and events venue, with renovation work carried out to ensure the preservation of the Grade II listed building.[citation needed]
