You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Canons Ashby House - Kitchen.jpg|thumb|Kitchen range at Canons Ashby House]]
The interior of Canons Ashby House is noted for its [[Tudor architecture|Elizabethan]] wall paintings and its [[Jacobean architecture|Jacobean]] plasterwork. It has remained essentially unchanged since 1710 and is presented as it was during the time of [[Dryden baronets|Sir Henry Edward Leigh Dryden]] (1818–1899), a Victorian antiquary with an interest in history.

The house sits in the midst of a formal garden with colourful [[herbaceous border]]s, an [[orchard]] featuring varieties of fruit trees from the 16th century, terraces, walls and gate piers from 1710. There is also the remains of a medieval [[Canons Ashby Priory|priory church]] (from which the house gets its name).

==History==
[[File:Canons Ashby House - Rear.jpg|thumb|Rear of Canons Ashby House]]

The house had been the home of the [[John Dryden|Dryden]] family since its construction in the 16th century; the [[manor house]] was built in approximately 1550 with additions in the 1590s, in the 1630s and 1710.

One John Dryden had married Elizabeth Cope in 1551 and inherited, through his wife, an L-shaped farmhouse which he gradually extended. In the 1590s his son, [[Sir Erasmus Dryden, 1st Baronet|Sir Erasmus Dryden]] completed the final north range of the house which enclosed the Pebble Courtyard.

John Dryden and Elizabeth Cope had a daughter, Bridget Dryden (1563-1645),born at Canons Ashby.  She became the second wife of cleric and teacher [[Francis Marbury]]; their daughter [[Anne Hutchinson]] (1591-1643) emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634. Anne's strong religious convictions were at odds with the established Puritan clergy in the Boston area, and her popularity and charisma helped create a theological schism that threatened to destroy the Puritans' religious community in New England. She was eventually tried and convicted, then banished from the colony with many of her supporters. To 19th century America, she was a crusader for religious liberty; in the 20th century, she became viewed as a feminist leader for her staunch defence of individual freedom of thought.  Today, a statue of Anne Hutchinson stands in front of the State House in Boston, Massachusetts.

[[Dryden baronets|Sir Henry Edward Leigh Dryden]]'s daughter, the historian and photographer [[Alice Dryden]] (1866–1956) was born in the house and lived there for 33 years. She moved away after her father  died, since a woman could not inherit the estate and it went to her uncle, Sir Alfred Erasmus Dryden (1821–1912).<ref>[http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/60772 Brian Dix, ‘Dryden, Sir Henry Edward Leigh, fourth baronet and seventh baronet (1818–1899)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004]</ref>

[[Louis Osman]] (1914–1996), an architect and accomplished British goldsmith lived at Canons Ashby from 1969/70 to 1979. Whilst there, Osman made the crown, with his enamellist wife, Dilys Roberts, which was used at the investiture of [[Charles, Prince of Wales]] in 1969. They also made the gold enamelled casket that held the [[Magna Carta]] which was on view in the United States Capitol, Washington, DC in 1976 for the [[United States Bicentennial]].<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/19/AR2010081905681.html Washington Post: ''Original Magna Carta and replica get a cleaning'' 20 August 2010, accessed 23 May 2013]</ref>

During World War II, the London offices of 20th Century Fox films were evacuated to Canons Ashby House; the evacuee staff lived in the nearby village of Moreton Pinkney.

[[Gervase Jackson-Stops]], who was the Architectural Adviser to the National Trust for over twenty years, broke fresh ground when he fought for the rescue of the then decaying manor-house in the 1980s. This was the first time that the Trust used its charitable funds rather than the traditional family endowment to save a historic house.
