St Helen's Church, Hangleton, Norman parish church in Hangleton, England.

The structure features thick flint walls measuring 3.5 feet, with doors and windows crafted from Caen stone, including a square tower added in the 13th century.

Built between 1001 and 1101, the church came under control of Lewes Priory in 1093 through William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey's directive.

The interior walls contain medieval paintings and scrollwork from the 13th to 15th centuries, discovered during renovations in 1949.

The church underwent substantial rebuilding in 1949, adding a porch and vestry while receiving a new roof to enable regular religious services.

Medieval wall sections display a distinctive herringbone pattern connected to the Saxon period, making it the oldest building in Brighton and Hove.
