St Margaret's Church, West Hoathly

The sandstone building features an extended nave, chancel, and a collection of stained glass windows representing different architectural periods.

Founded in the 11th century, the church underwent several medieval expansions that doubled its original size while maintaining its Norman architectural elements.

The church maintains its dedication to Saint Margaret of Antioch, discovered in a 13th-century document after centuries of being forgotten.

The churchyard spans six terraced levels and contains over 100 plant species, providing a natural environment for reflection and remembrance.

The south door, added in 1626, displays its construction date spelled out with wrought iron nails embedded in the wood.
