Because he thinks the village

Because he thinks the village of Felpham near Bognor Regis, Sussex is being spoiled by modern buildings, Mr Henry Howell, owner of William Blake's cottage, where the poet wrote some of his finest works is to defy the Bognor Regis Urban District Council. An architect specialising in the preservation of buildings has designed a small hood to be built at the entrance of the 400-year-old cottage and thatched. The plan however have rejected by the council because they "interfere with the antiquity of the cottage". He will also replace the Victorian windows with leaded lights and will place a commemorative plaque on the wall._x000D_ 21 September 1937.
