The Priory, Reigate is a Cluniac priory founded in the late eleventh century as a daughter house of the Norman monastery of Lewes in East Sussex. The site lies within Reigate town and preserves fragmentary remains of the medieval monastic complex, including sections of flint and stone walling that attest to its former scale and importance. The priory remained active through the medieval period until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. The surviving structures, now incorporated into later buildings and the urban landscape, represent an important example of Norman monastic settlement in Surrey and the enduring physical legacy of Cluniac influence in southern England.
