What The Blake Cottage Trust say about themselves

“In early 2024 Blake Cottage, in the village of Felpham on the West Sussex coast, was in danger of being lost forever - the roof was on the point of collapse and the fabric was crumbling. The Blake Cottage Trust is rescuing the historic site for the nation. It was in this small thatched cottage”
