Entering Steyning along Bramber Road you are greeted with this display. In the background can be seen a silhouette of St. Cuthman and his mother in a wheelbarrow. Tradition has it that when the wheelbarrow broke down St. Cuthman was to build a church. The foretold mishap occurred at Steyning where he built a wooden church, and where he was later buried. Preserved in the Church is an ancient gravestone, which experts say could be that of St Cuthman.
