The Blake Cottage participated in the Heritage Open Days on 15th September 2026.
Led by Nick Tyson from The Regency Town House in Brighton, it offered the public a unique opportunity to see repairs underway and to learn a little of the couple’s seaside home, in which Blake is reputed to have been inspired to write the UK’s unofficial national anthem ‘Jerusalem’.

Nick, an experienced historic building analyst and prominent figure in heritage conservation, has been working with the Trust to help restore and conserve it.

Our big thanks to Nick and to all those who made it happen!

We are just one year away from the bicentenary of William Blake’s death. Help us celebrate his legacy and join our crowdfunding campaign to open the cottage in time for this significant anniversary. Link in bio.

The event held on 12 September at The Blake Cottage, with master carpenter Joe Thompson, was a great success. Those who attended had the opportunity to learn more about the efforts of The Blake Cottage Trust to carefully restore the cottage’s timber structure and install a new thatched roof, as it would have been in Blake’s time. The aim is to recreate the distinctive “roof of rusted gold” that Blake was so fond of.

Our many thanks to Joe Thompson everyone involved in organising the event!

Read the beautiful letter by our Trustee Richard Clemmow published by The Guardian. He says:

“Your editorial (The Guardian view on writers’ houses: a museum of one’s own, 18 August) rightly laments that George Eliot has no publicly open home despite efforts to secure one. The same is true, remarkably, of William Blake, and he is at least as worthy a cause, and arguably even more influential.

Poet, painter, printmaker and author of the words behind Jerusalem, Blake has no open home anywhere. Of his nine addresses, only two survive. In London, the apartment he rented is disappearing behind new development. The other, his cottage in Felpham, West Sussex, where he and his wife, Catherine, lived from 1800 to 1803 and experienced an outburst of creativity, is the only one that could ever open to the public.

I am a trustee of the Blake Cottage Trust, which has spent two years saving it. In 2024 the roof was near collapse and the cottage was on Historic England’s at-risk register. Thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund and other foundations, artisans have rebuilt the roof and removed a Victorian extension, returning the cottage to its original form. But much of the fabric still needs full conservation before the cottage is truly saved and can be opened to all, and that work costs a great deal of money.
Raising it has not been easy. Even with the backing of the Heritage Fund and other trusts, we will need private philanthropy to fill a significant gap – and, as your article notes of Rydal Mount, heritage sites live or die on relevance and sustainability as much as repair.

That’s why our ambition goes beyond bricks and thatch to include opening an arts and education centre near the cottage, conceived not just as somewhere to visit but as a living place of creativity and inspiration in its own right – one with year-round appeal for the local community as much as for returning visitors, and one that properly honours Catherine Blake too, who learned to read under William’s guidance and helped hand-print and colour the plates of his illuminated books.

Soho, the most formative chapter of my life, thus far. This family and a little windowless room below its neon streets changed my life forever.

WILLIAM BLAKE (World of Art)

Revised and updated, William Blake is a CLASSIC study of Britain’s great Romantic visionary.

224pgs , 6×8” $24 now JUST $$20

Britain’s great Romantic visionary William Blake (1757–1827) was an artist of uniquely powerful imagination and creative talents. Prophet, poet, painter, and engraver, Blake captured the spiritual drama of English nationalism, integrating poetry and visual art to create a truly unique body of work. First published in 1968, this classic study reveals Blake to be far more than a social radical, reshaping our understanding of the artist’s achievements and unraveling the complex symbolism expressed in his paintings and prints.

Author Kathleen Raine guides the reader through the life and thought of this extraordinary artist. Detailing the enriching effect of mystical, alchemical, and gnostic philosophy―as well as DANTE, MILTON, and the BIBLE ―on Blake’s art, she examines famous works such as JERUSALEM, SONGS of INNOCENCE and Experience, and The BOOK of JOB, relating them to Blake’s world view and analyzing their fierce energy and prophet qualities. Packed with nearly 200 images, William Blake is a must-have for fans of this legendary artist.
