Almost five thousand acres of West Lancashire’s top grade farming land has been purchased by Home Bargains chief executive Tom Morris. Located at Halsall, the land was purchased from the Church of England’s Church Commissioners, which manages around 95,000 acres of land across the country and an £8.7 billion investment fund
“Our aim is to work with local farmers to grow and promote British produce.”
The Home Bargains billionaire is also the director of The Halsall Estate Limited, which was incorporated in January this year.
A spokesman for the body said it had ‘completed on the sale of 4,960 acres of land at Halsall, West Lancashire.’
“All parties affected have been notified and where tenancies are in place these will remain,” he confirmed.
