Felpham (/ˈfelpəm/,[3] sometimes pronounced locally as Felf-fm or Fel-thm) is a village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England.
[4] There is also a Methodist church close to the three-way junction of Felpham Way, Flansham Lane and Middleton Road, in the east of the village.
Felpham is mentioned in a charter of 953 by which King Eadred granted thirty hides of land there to his mother Queen Eadgifu.
[5] It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of the 11th century, under the hundred of Binstead: "St Edward's Abbey [Shaftesbury] holds and held Felpham before 1066..." Its value before 1066 was said to be £10.
The poem contains the line about "England's green and pleasant land", today known as the anthem "Jerusalem", which were inspired by Blake's "evident pleasure" in the Felpham countryside.
It is a late medieval (c. 1500), four bay, timber-framed thatched Yeoman's house with queen struts and clasped side purlins.
In the 1700s the house was 'modernised' with the insertion of a chimney built within the smoke bay and three exterior walls replaced with flint with rubble infill.
[citation needed] Felpham Community College, the main school in the area, operates its own youth wing.
