Supposedly so called because it was where pilgrims following the Pilgrims Way along the base of the North Downs would remove their shoes when visiting the Chapel of the Holy Cross situated near the current Red Cross Inn. The building on the right is late 16th Century and now houses a dental practice; the building next to it dates from 1885 and houses the Reigate 30th Scout Troup.
