The building of the Old Kings Head Hotel is thought to have begun around 1610 when the Dean and Chapter of York owned the land around the Chapel of Broughton and is inextricably linked to the proclamation of the town’s Charter, a copy of which can be found hanging in the bar.

In the intervening four centuries the Old Kings Head has provided a continuous service of rest and refreshment to the public.
