St Margaret's Church in Worthing is so small that it only has two windows, one on the north side and one on the south side. Despite this, the interior is light and airy. The round tower is equally compact and does not extend above the roof level. It houses a single bell dating from 1744. However, the church was never intended to be this minute. The tower lost its top section in the 18th century and the chancel was pulled down between 1781 and the 1820s. Earthworks at the east end indicate the location of the chancel and further earthworks to the north-east indicates the site of a free-standing building, possibly a chapel. There is even a theory that there were once two churches in this churchyard (or rather in conjoined churchyards), a circumstance by no means unusual in East Anglia, and the mounds represent all that now remains of the second church. Sheltered by the fifteenth century porch is a splendid Norman south door with ornate flouron decoration and zig-zag moulding above a pair of colonnettes and scalloped capitals.  Inside, the church has a simple charm with an exquisite English Gothic niche reset at the east end with two birds forming brackets to the canopy. A surprise awaits the visitor inside, in the form of the unusual font made up of a mish-mash of materials. The top consists of two sections of a churchyard cross, one of which has been hollowed out. Underneath that is brickwork and at the bottom is the base of a Norman font.
