At the roundabout by the White Horse Pub, go along Church Street and follow the road. You will see the church lychgate at the end of Church Street, opposite Steyning Library.

Accessibility & Level Access
Everyone is welcome to our services. We have a good sound system and an audio ‘T’ Induction loop. Please ask if you need large-print readings or hymns for worship.
There are several steps down from our main door into our ancient church, and our ancient floor in uneven in places so please watch your step. For those who can’t manage these with the banister, level access is available through our north east door. To find it, follow the tarmac path anti-clockwise around the church, and look out for the signs on the ground. This level access for is opened for all popular services but we regret that we cannot keep it open every day.
SHOULD YOU REQUIRE LEVEL ACCESS TO THE CHURCH AT OTHER TIMES please be in touch the Parish Office or the Vicarage. With sufficient notice we can also provide ramps for wheel-chair access to all parts of the building. Scroll up this page for full addresses and all contact details. You can read about our long-term plans for better access and other building improvements here.
The Penfold Hall has level access by way of the ramp that runs from the courtyard between the entrances of Steyning Library and Steyning Museum. If you are hiring the hall, please ensure that level access is available for your event.
