Steyning, in West Sussex, had a population of around 5,800 at the 2021 census — a small Saxon-founded market town that was once, briefly, a royal burial place.
A king's first resting place
In 858, King Æthelwulf of Wessex — father of Alfred the Great — died and was buried at Steyning, then an important Saxon minster town with its own mint. His remains didn't stay there; they were later moved to the Old Minster in Winchester, where they can still be found today among the cathedral's mortuary chests.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Steyning shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Steyning shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Worthing or Brighton for a wider selection.
