Reigate Priory today. Originally founded in 1235, for the Order of St Augustine
During the mid 1980s, groups of students keen to learn about tracing their family histories attended a local adult education class. Tutor, Marion Brackpool, aware of their enthusiasm, invited past and present students to a meeting to gauge interest in creating a local family history group. So, in 1987, Reigate and District Family History Group was formed with the aim of providing a meeting place for people of similar interests and to help them further their research. Our current chairman Jackie Johnson has been involved since the start.
