Lingfield is a village and civil parish in the Tandridge district of Surrey, England, approximately 23 miles (37 km) south of London. Several buildings date from the Tudor period and the timber-frame medieval church is Grade I listed. The stone cage or old gaol, constructed in 1773, was last used in 1882 to hold a poacher. Lingfield Park Racecourse is to the south of the village. In addition to turf racing on the flat and over jumps, there is also an all-weather course.
