Cuthmann of Steyning was an Anglo-Saxon hermit and builder who lived in Sussex during the late 7th and 8th centuries. Born around 681, likely in Chidham, he is remembered for his devotion to his paralyzed mother and his role in establishing a religious site in Steyning. According to tradition, he traveled with his mother in a makeshift cart until a broken rope signaled the divine location where he should settle. He is celebrated as a saint for his piety and for founding a church that became a significant local landmark.
