A 19th century barn that has now been converted into the local headquarters of the St John's Ambulance. Until the late 1940s the barn stood alone in open fields to the north of Steyning's urban limits. After the war the western side became part of the Shooting Field council estate though to the east it remained open fields and the barn had become part of Gatewick Farm. This lasted until the construction of the Steyning By-Pass in 1981 that cut the farm off from its fields to the east. The farm moved and the former fields to the west of the by-pass were developed as housing. At some point since then it has been converted to its current use.
