Reigate Priory, a Grade I listed building, is a set in 65 acres of open parkland, with gardens, lake and waterfowl and good recreational facilities. The Priory was originally founded in the early 13th century and was converted to a mansion in Tudor times following the Dissolution of the Monastries. In June 1541 Henry VIII granted the Manor and Priory of Reigate to Lord William Howard, uncle of Catherine Howard, Henry's fifth wife. Reigate Priory became the family home and the old monastic buildings were converted to become a comfortable Tudor mansion.
