Hangleton church has a 13thc. W tower, an early Norman nave with opposing N and S doorways, a N porch and vestry, and a square-ended 14thc. chancel, separated from the nave by a screen. There is a small Norman window in the S wall of the nave, and another in the N. Two reset corbels and one loose corbel may be 12thc. in date.
Hangleton, now a suburb of Brighton, is mentioned in the Domesday Book, but no church.
The reset heads and loose corbel may have been removed from the W tower when the parapet was built.
