Felpham, The Village 1903

More about this scene
We are east of Bognor Regis. The poet and biographer William Hayley lived in the Turret. In 1800 he invited his poet friend William Blake to come and live in the village, where he stayed for four years. The medieval church of St Mary can be seen in the background of the picture. A four-wheeled cart is pulled by two horses in tandem and appears to be loaded with brushwood faggots; all of the action is halted whilst waiting patiently for the photographer. There is a fine flint garden wall in the foreground.
