Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Geological, Historical, and Topographical Description of the Borough of Reigate and Surrounding District: With Five Maps and Fifty-One Illustrations
The vicinity, included in a radius of about six miles, comprises Holmesdale and the Hundred of Reigate: the former is defined by physical geography, the latter by ancient law. Their local peculiarities were apparent until toned down by modern innovations. These sub divisions need be borne in mind when reading the Historical Notes.
In succeeding chapters special descriptions are given, first of Reigate borough, and afterwards, more brie?y, of some eighteen surrounding parishes, since they first had a separate existence other more distant places and objects of special or local interest being also noticed.
