What is recorded here

Woking Palace stands as a medieval royal residence whose moated enclosure and fishponds still mark the ground at Oldhall Copse. The water defenses and breeding pools reveal how the English crown managed both status and food on its territorial holdings. What remains is not a complete building but a living map of medieval power, where earth and water still outline the shape of a palace that time has half-erased.

The National Heritage List for England records Woking Palace moated site, fishponds and ruins at Oldhall Copse as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Woking Palace was a royal residence built in the 14th century, held by the English monarchy and later by the Earls of Surrey. It is remembered as part of the historical network of royal palaces in Surrey and for its association with medieval royal administration and leisure.
