Hangleton history

---

St Helen’s Church was first documented in 1093 as a possession of Lewes Priory, to which it was granted by William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey. The nave was built in the 12th century, the west tower was added a century later and the chancel dates from c. 1300. By 1300 it was “a thriving community of approximately 200 people”

20th century

In 1928 the Hangleton was absorbed into the Borough of Hove for administrative purposes. At the time of the census in 1931 the population of the parish was still only 109. During that decade residential and commercial development started apace and continued after World War II. St Helen’s Church, which was “still entirely isolated” in 1929 when it was kept locked except during services, became surrounded by houses.

Hangleton etymology

The spelling of Hangleton has varied over the centuries. The meaning of the name is not known for certain, but most sources suggest an Old English phrase meaning “the farm by the sloping wood”

Hove amber cup The Hove amber cup is one of only two found in Britain; the other was in Dorset. Dated to around 1250 BCE, it was found in a Wessex culture grave in a coffin made from a treetrunk. The amber would have come from the Baltic region.
