Some way to the west of Stanmer lies what was at one time the village of Hangleton, now a large suburb of Hove with mixed council and private housing. The village was wiped out by the Black Death and now only St Helen's church and Hangleton Manor remain from those times. The church, which is built of flint, dates back to the 11th century and celebrated its 900th anniversary some years ago.
