About Fencing in Reigate
Reigate in Surrey grew up around a castle probably built by William de Warenne, the second Earl of Surrey, soon after 1088, initially a timber motte and bailey structure that was later rebuilt in stone during the 12th or 13th century before being largely demolished after the Civil War, leaving only the mound and a mock medieval gate erected in 1777 from surviving fragments. The soft sandstone beneath the castle mound has been mined for centuries, creating the network of tunnels and chambers known locally as the Reigate Caves, including the Barons' Cave, one of the oldest show caves in Britain, first described in a 1586 account by the antiquarian William Camden. A road tunnel built in 1823 beneath the castle grounds is believed to be the first of its kind in the country, adding yet another layer to the town's unusual underground history.
