Reigate Priory
Grade I-listed building in Reigate, Surrey
About
Reigate Priory is a Grade I listed building in Reigate, Surrey, England. It was founded in the first half of the 13th century as an Augustinian priory. Following its dissolution in 1536, the buildings were converted to a private residence for William Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Effingham. Later owners included Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham, who led the English fleet against the Spanish Armada, and John Parsons, one of the MPs for Reigate and the former Lord Mayor of London.
The southern part of the priory grounds were bought by Randall Vogan in 1920, who donated them to Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. The council purchased the remainder of the grounds in 1948. Since 1948, the building has been in use as a school.
