History of Steyning
Steyning has existed since Anglo-Saxon times. Legend has it that St. Cuthman built a church, at one time dedicated to him, later to St Andrew, and now jointly to St Andrew and St Cuthman, where he stopped after carrying his mother in a wheelbarrow. Several of the signs that can be seen on entering Steyning bear an image of his feat. King Alfred the Great’s father, Ethelwulf of Wessex, was originally buried in that church, before being transferred to Winchester a Saxon grave slab (possibly his) remains in the church porch.
