Steyning Scandals: The Secrets of a Sussex Market Town, 1547-1947

Steyning’s attractive timber-framed buildings and flint cottages hide many secrets from the past – come and discover some of them if you dare. We will be exploring the streets and twittens of Steyning with many scandalous stories, all illustrated and researched through local documentary sources.
