Hidden in the woods, Old Palm is steeped in legend. It is said that a tunnel reached from Mapledurham House to the statue as an escape route for the Blout family, who were Roman Catholics during the time of Catholic persecution. Others say that if you walk round the statue three times, the devil will appear. Still more say that Old Palm climbs down from his plinth every Christmas Eve to share good cheer.
