Steyning Museum tells the story of Steyning, Bramber, Upper Beeding, Ashurst, Wiston and Botolphs, from pre-history to the present day, through permanent exhibits and changing temporary displays. You can borrow a smartphone audio guide to explore the history and exhibits at your own pace, browse the museum shop, or dig into the library and archives if you want to research local or family history in more depth. Among the items on display are a model L.B.S.C.R. suburban train, an illuminated map, and the skeleton known as 'Steyning Man'. It suits visitors of any age with an interest in local heritage. Based in Steyning, Horsham, it makes a good addition to a stay in the area, with Lancing station 4.3 miles away and 38 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
