Reigate and Redhill Society; Home

The Priory is built on the site of an Augustinian priory founded in about 1235. Very little of the medieval foundation survives, and it is only visible from inside the building. After the dissolution of the monasteries the property was granted to Lord Howard of Effingham in 1541, who erected a house on the site. The house assumed much of its present appearance during extensive rebuilding in about 1770. Edward VII and his mistress were frequent visitors to the Priory in the early 1900s. During 2007/2008 Priory Park was extensively re-modelled, and also maintenance work has been undertaken on the Priory itself.

Reigate Old Town Hall. Also used as a Market House. Built in 1728, the building was presented to the Borough by Mr Randal Vogan in 1922. It is now a Caffe Nero.
