Last in a terrace of 17th century cottages at the top of Langley Hill. Bought by the local brewer John Edward Groome in 1857, it now shows a Victorian frontage which previously had a blacksmith's shop attached. The Doy Family have been earlier landlords of the Old Palace. George Doy kept the pub from 1912 - 1930 and his son, George Junior, from 1938 - 1952. The pub is now owned by John van Til. A most welcoming atmosphere accommodating people from all walks of life make it a popular place in the village. The beautiful beer garden, occasional barbeques and music events add to the Old Palace's attraction.
