Village cage and St Peter's Cross is a scheduled ancient monument located in Surrey. The cage is a small lock-up structure of probable eighteenth-century date, constructed to temporarily detain offenders and troublemakers within the village. St Peter's Cross is a medieval wayside cross, though its precise dating and original function remain characteristic of such markers that served both religious and practical purposes in medieval settlements. Together these structures represent the administrative and spiritual infrastructure of a working medieval and early modern village community.
