Once known as Cherchefelle in the Domesday Book, the place traces its humble beginnings back to the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, bearing silent testimony to centuries of vibrant human activity.

The town's rich historical tapestry incorporates influences from Roman occupation, evident from tile making activities at Doods Road, to medieval defensive architecture, as seen in the motte-and-bailey castle built within the town. The Augustinian priory, founded in the 13th century and later transformed into a private residence during the Reformation, adds an interesting facet to Reigate's historical narrative.
