And did those feet in ancient time is a short poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton a Poem, one of a collection of writings known as the Prophetic Books. Today it is best known as the anthem 'Jerusalem', with composition by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916.
The poem was inspired by a story that the young Jesus, accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea, a tin merchant, traveled to England and visited Glastonbury during his early years.
