English: Hangleton A view of the suburb from Benfield Valley Golf Course. The original settlement of Hangleton was deserted in the middle ages leaving just the church, manor and a few isolated farms in the area, Many of the latter failed in the interwar years and often the lure of property developers' money proved irresistible to the struggling farmers with the result that suburbs such as Hangleton began appearing on the eve of World War Two. Much of the valley below was completed post 1945 specifically in the 1960s and 70s when the last fields disappeared for good.
