Historic home of Jerusalem poet near Bognor Regis goes on the at risk register

Blake’s Cottage is one of 35 sites added to the register, published today (Thursday) due to concerns about their condition and the risk of them being lost forever as a result of neglect, decay or inappropriate development.

The thatched brick and flint cottage was the home of William Blake and his wife Catherine from 1800-1803, and where he wrote the poem that became the famous hymn ‘Jerusalem’.
