The Medieval undercroft between West Street and Slipshoe Street, Reigate, is a vaulted stone chamber of 13th-century date that survives beneath the street level in the town centre. The structure represents an important example of medieval urban development and demonstrates the sophisticated building practices employed in a market town of the period. The undercroft was likely associated with a substantial stone building of high status, possibly a merchant's house or administrative structure related to Reigate's position as a significant settlement within Surrey. Its survival underground has preserved it from the demolitions and alterations that affected much of Reigate's medieval streetscape in subsequent centuries.
