By 1884, the club was playing at Hunt Hill, Hawkeys Lane which was also known as The Old Earl Percy Field and was situated to the south of Preston Cemetery.

It was said that the first team players had the privilege of using a bedroom in one of the cottages near the gate as a dressing room, but they had to perform their ablutions in a bucket in the yard.

[2] During the turn of the century, Percy Park also hosted the invitational touring team the Barbarians on three occasions.

[3][4] In 1905 the Percy Park Ground hosted the New Zealand 'All Blacks' on their first tour of Great Britain, where they faced Northumberland.

A talented wing, Catcheside's debut in the 1924 Five Nations Championship, resulted in a record when he became the first England player to score a try in each of the four matches.

[5] 1924 also saw Bill Wallace become Percy Parks first and only player to represent the British Lions directly from the club.

Although selected at county level for Northumberland, Wallace never represented England, though by playing in the First Test against South Africa on the 1924 tour, he became a capped Lion.

The 1960 Five Nations Championship saw Don Rutherford, Percy Park fullback, selected for the England team, and he would go on to become the club's most capped player.

A new concrete stand was built in 1983, replacing an earlier wooden framework which burned down, and further construction work in 1998 saw the building of a new clubhouse equipped with modern facilities.
