Felpham

Felpham gave the world "Jerusalem" and then quietly got on with the business of being a bungalow. William Blake saw angels descending through the air here; the current residents see the bin lorry on a Tuesday and consider it the highlight of the week. It's the kind of village that sells itself as the polite end of Bognor, which is true, in the sense that being the polite end of Bognor is a competition with a low bar and a small field. Whitstable it isn't, and the people who live here are quietly relieved about that.
