Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848–1918) is best known today for “Jerusalem,” the song he composed in 1916 based on the verse preface of William Blake’s epic poem, Milton.

Parry’s musical adaptation rose in popularity as a church hymn and then more broadly as the unofficial national anthem in the United Kingdom.
