Felpham, West Sussex
Felpham is a part of Bognor Regis which still clings onto a slightly villagy feel.
Felpham will forever be associated with the great English mystical poet and painter William Blake who lived in a sweet cottage which is now in Blakes Road, Felpham.
Blake, by the way, is reputed to have written his great poem Jerusalem whilst inspired by the view towards the Trundle from the nearby village of Lavant. The earliest parts of this work were actually written in Felpham but the bulk of the work was carried out when he returned to London in 1804.
"..more spiritual than London"
Blake, who was often inspired by visions, wrote of Felpham in a letter that it was “a sweet place for Study, because it is more spiritual than London. Heaven opens here on all sides her golden Gates; her windows are not obstructed by vapours; voices of Celestial inhabitants are more distinctly heard, and their forms more distinctly seen; and my Cottage is also a Shadow of their houses”.Would he write the same about Felpham today? Maybe not.
