Penn's House, Horsham Road, Steyning
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 25 Jun 2016
Built as a timber framed dwelling in the early 17th century. In 1678 it was purchased by the Quakers who turned into a meeting hall which was often visited by William Penn who resided for a while at Warminghurst to the north west of Steyning. The building was converted into a house around 1886 though sometime in the 1970s the then owners, themselves Quakers, opened their house to worshippers. The building is now subdivided into two dwellings, the northern part being known as Penn's Cottage.
