MUSICIAN Billy Bragg is auctioning one of his guitars to help restore a former home of poet William Blake.

The 17th-century cottage in Felpham, west Sussex, is in urgent need of repairs including a new thatched roof.

Blake lived in the cottage for three years from 1800 and wrote the words to the hymn Jerusalem during his time there.
