Striking timber-framed cottage in Steyning with its huge sweep of thatched roof. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyning

Notable for its wooden framework and "cat-slide" thatched roof, this cottage formerly housed the town museum but was at the time of the image a National Trust holiday cottage.

The "Saxon Cottage" was once home for the town's museum, which is now situated in a modern building in Vicarage Lane close by. Now it appears to be a holiday cottage let out by the National Trust.

This plaque is to be found on a modest building in Church Lane. Sir Harry (1709-1774) fully owned the Rotten Borough of Bramber and served as one of its two MPs.

Number 23 acquired its name during an 18th century legal stand off between landlord, Sir Harry Gough, and a sitting tenant who refused to pay rent in order to gain squatters rights. Gough, who was MP for Bramber between 1774-90, knew the sitting tenant would qualify as one of the few voters of the rotten borough of Bramber stood his ground and eventually won. The date stone above the door reads; "This is Sir Harry Gough's House 1771." The building itself dates from the 17th century.

Looking northwards from the junction with School Lane with the Duke of Norfolk public house on the left and a neighbouring bakery.

The only public house in Steyning not located on the High Street dates from the mid 19th century. The building which also contains a bakery is older having been constructed in the 17th century.

This sixteenth century, timber-framed, cottage with its catslide roof http://thesaurus.english-heritage.org.uk/thesaurus_term.asp?thes_no=546&term_no=137523 is typical of houses of the period and, it has been suggested, might be the sole remaining bay of a significantly larger house. Fortunately, subsequent owners neglected to keep up with the fads and fashions in architecture and did not face the exterior with brick. The building is now owned by the National Trust and is available as a holiday cottage http://www.nationaltrustcottages.co.uk/nt.asp?p=80&c=126. The Steyning Museum was once housed here but has moved to a purpose-built building 100m down Church Street.
