It’s best known for its infamous racecourse, however, the historic village dates back to Saxon times and boasts many magnificent, listed buildings dating back to Tudor and Georgian eras. From the Church of St Peter and St Paul dating back to the 14th Century to many of the high street shops, the ‘village cage’ and pond. Lingfield’s busy high street has plenty of local amenities, big chains, and boutique shops.
