St Margaret's includes a W tower (Perp. c.1400), nave (12thc. origin), S aisle (c.1175-1220), square-ended chancel (mid- or late 13thc.) and S chapel (c.1270).
West Hoathly is not mentioned in the Domesday Book. In the absence of original openings, the church is difficult to date. It was restored in 1870.
The font belongs to the second half of the 12thc. See note on this type of font under Heyshott.
