Blake's Cottage, 17th-century thatched cottage in Felpham, England

The two-story cottage features walls made of cob, flint, and brick materials, topped with a traditional thatched roof design.

William Blake and his wife Catherine resided in this cottage from 1800 to 1803, where he composed the verses that became the hymn Jerusalem.

The cottage stands as a testament to English literary heritage, reflecting the period when William Blake created some of his important works.

The Blake Cottage Trust manages the property and coordinates renovation efforts to preserve this Grade II listed building for future generations.

During his stay, Blake faced legal troubles after an altercation with a soldier, leading to charges of assault and seditious remarks against King George III.
