Historically, the village is significant as the birthplace of the missionary William Carey (1761). The cottage of his birth no longer exists, but its site is marked by a stone memorial on Carey's Road, named after him.{{cite web|title=Paulerspury: Pury End|url=http://www.thecareyexperience.co.uk/paulerspury.htm|website=The Carey Experience|accessdate=9 July 2016}}{{cite web|title=William Carey's Historical Wall - Carey Road, Pury End, Northamptonshire, UK|url=http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM8V98_William_Careys_Historical_Wall_Carey_Road_Pury_End_Northamptonshire_UK|website=UK Historical Markers|publisher=Waymarking.com|accessdate=9 July 2016}} Includes image of memorial stone
