| Popis: | STEYNING IN SUSSEX is one of the lovelier small towns of England, nestling as it does among the downs. E. V. Lucas describes it as "the little grey and red town which huddles under the hill." Its church today is basically Norman with fine zigzag mouldings and the weighty dignity of the best Norman work. The nave roof is disproportionately high to the eye outside, but "when one faces the curiously chequered square tower, an impression of quiet dignity is imparted." The main street winds and rises, and its curve reveals where the heavy farmwagons once lurched as they breasted the incline. Its houses are varied with gable and roof, bow window and Tudor, red and yellow, and notable for their strange and characteristic weatherboarding; and they are as Lucas says "quaint and ingratiating." The town remains placid and unhustled, and the American Louis Jennings wrote of it, "There is plenty of time for everything in Steyning." |
