Old Palace Lane is arguably Richmond’s most historic street. Many of the changes and developments that have made the town what it is today are reflected in this quiet little lane, the former tradesman’s entrance to Richmond Palace.
Old Palace Lane: Medieval to Modern Richmond by Derek Robinson and Simon Fowler tells the story of the Lane, the people who have lived there, and its buildings. A second edition was published in March 2020.
Originally published jointly by the Society and by the Museum of Richmond as a booklet to accompany the Museum’s 2017 exhibition on the lane’s history, this new edition has 48 pages, four of them with historic maps of Richmond, and colour throughout.

The Richmond Vicars
Derek Robinson
September 2019 (published by the Museum of Richmond)
From the time that Richmond was little more than a village, St Mary Magdalene has been central to the life of the community. In his informative and entertaining book, Derek Robinson explores the lives of its ministers from the 17th century onwards. Some have been saintly, some eccentric and, yes, there have been some scandals.
