Some haymakers in a field jeered at him, and on that field, now called the Penfold, a shower has always fallen since whenever the hay is drying. The elder twigs finally gave way where Steyning was one day to be and here Cuthman decided to halt and build a shelter for his mother and himself. Afterwards he raised a wooden church and in this the saint was buried.
The most beautiful thing in the still beautiful village of Steyning is the great church of St Andrew, but with this the Lord of Bramber has nothing to do; the Benedictine Abbey of Fécamp rebuilt this noble sanctuary, but its foundation is said to be due to an English saint, St Cuthman, who, having been a shepherd boy, upon his father's death came out of the west into Sussex bearing his mother, who was crippled, in a kind of barrow which he dragged by a cord.
'You do astonish me, said Kitty, seating herself on the spot that had been chosen for her. 'You never heard of the legend of St. Cuthman! 'Won't you cross the poor gipsy's palm with a bit of silver, my pretty gentleman, and she'll tell you your fortune and that of your pretty lady. Kitty uttered a startled cry and turning they found themselves facing a strong black-eyed girl.
Now let's try and find a place where we can sit down. The grass is full of that horrid prickly gorse." "Here's a nice soft place; there is no gorse here. Now tell me the legend." "Well, I never!" said Kitty, sitting herself on the spot that had been chosen for her, "you do astonish me. You never heard of the legend of St Cuthman." "No, do tell it to me."
Particular notice should be taken of the pier-arches which are very beautifully decorated; also the south door. The original church was founded by St. Cuthman. Travelling from the west with his crippled mother, whom he conveyed in a wheelbarrow, he was forced to mend the broken cords with elder twigs.
