William Blake (1757-1827)

1800-1803 – William Blake, poet, artist, and seer, lived in Felpham at what is now called “Blake’s Cottage”. Here he is said to have written or at least planned, his poem “Jerusalem”. The following lines from his pen may well serve to bring this little guide to a conclusion:

“Away to sweet Felpham, for heaven is there:
The ladder of Angels descends through the air,
On the turret its spiral does softly descend,
Through the village it winds, at my cot it does end.”
