Steyning

With the backdrop of the South Downs, history is everywhere in Steyning. The legacy of the Normans is still here in the fine 12th century church of St Andrew’s and the ruins of Bramber Castle. Visit Steyning’s Museum to learn the story of St Cuthman At Steyning’s heart are the timber framed buildings of Tudor and Stuart tradesmen, 125 are listed. There is ample free parking with a wide choice of interesting shops, including the award winning Cobblestone Walk, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants and a monthly Farmers Market. Steyning is an important centre for walkers being on the route of the South Downs Way and Downs Link long distance paths. Events include the Easter Monday Festival of Sport, the Arts Music and Heritage Festival and Country Fair held each May.

The work to create the Steyning Community Action Plan commenced in 2002 when the Community groups in conjunction with the Parish Council commenced a Healthcheck process under the guidance of the Countryside Agency and Action in Rural Sussex. This involved the collection of data and a number of public consultations.  The cumulative output was the identification of four key project areas. A management committee was formed in 2004 to oversee all the work and to seek funding opportunities. This committee is made up of community minded people together with representatives from the Parish, District and the County Councils.  Steyning reformed itself as a Company Limited by Guarantee in 2008
