Wonderful picture - what a place! I descend from Scrase and Hardwick who owned this manor in the past (also from Blaker in the neighbouring parish of Portslade).

Did you know that in the first or second door on the left as you look at this photo there was a deep well set in the floor? I used to throw stones down it as a kid.

Anybody out there who went to the youth club at the Hangelton Valley Free Church? Paul Nelson, Ruth Clemants, Nigel Box, Mark Scally? It would be great to hear from anyone. This would be around the late 1980s. Hope to hear from someone soon.

Love the photo and should be able to find more. My father Howard and his sister Hilda Cross spent part of their childhood at Hangleton Manor, with their parents Effie and Clement (my grandparents) who farmed the area for several years. Dad has wonderful stories about a ghost, and the secret smugglers tunnel, which led from Shoreham harbour to the manor then to St Helen's (I think) on top of the hill. The well pump was powered by a donkey on a treadmill. I live in Australia, but we try & go there for a meal when I'm over on a visit to Mum & Dad. Thanks for a great site!
