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 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ 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. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host 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 web host'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 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 (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.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they 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 23:54, 31 July 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.

'''Chapel St. Leonards''' is a seaside resort village and [[civil parish]] in the [[East Lindsey]] district of [[Lincolnshire]], England. It is situated ((convert|5|mi|km|0)) north from the [[resort]] of [[Skegness]] and just north of [[Ingoldmells]]. It also lies right next to the [[North Sea]].

The village is a location for [[caravan park]] holidays as well as [[campsites]], and is next to several miles of beach, and close to [[Fantasy Island (UK amusement park)|Fantasy Island]], [[market town]]s, and the [[Lincolnshire Wolds]].

A landmark is Chapel Point, ((convert|1|mi|km|1)) north from the centre of the village. It has a restored part of a major [[Second World War]] coastal defence line retaining the viewing platform. The adjacent '''North Sea Observatory''', a futuristic, iconic visitors' centre using high quality materials and high-weatherproofing providing a comfortable facility for year-round use, was constructed between 2016 and 2018.<ref name="live"/><ref>[https://www.wm-saunders.co.uk/north-sea-observatory/ North Sea Observatory] William Saunders (structural engineers), 1 February 2018.

In recent years Chapel Point has become a location for [[birdwatching|birdwatchers]], being visited by migrating birds such as the [[Mediterranean gull]].<ref>[http://sites.google.com/site/southlincsrspb/ "Welcome to the South Lincs RSPB Local Group Website"], South Lincs RSPB</ref>

== Governance ==
An [[Wards and electoral divisions of the United Kingdom|electoral ward]] of the same name exists. This ward stretches west to [[Hogsthorpe]] with a total population taken at the 2011 census of 4,684.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.ukcensusdata.com/chapel-st-leonards-e05005562#sthash.CsfM4uoc.dpbs|title=Ward population 2011|access-date=18 August 2015))</ref>

==North Sea Observatory==
[[File:North Sea Observatory Chapel Point south side.jpg|thumb|left|Car park with staircase and newly constructed disabled ramp adjacent to beach chalets leading down to car park level to the right]]
The UK's first purpose-built marine observatory, it was first conceived in 2005 with plans revealed to the public in July 2013. Planning permission was granted at the end of 2014 with the build between 2016 and 2018 funded mainly from [[Lincolnshire County Council]] and additionally from [[Arts Council England]] and the Coastal Communities Fund.<ref group=note>[https://lincolnshire.moderngov.co.uk/documents/s4069/E.1987.13%20Chapel%20St%20Leonards.pdf Planning permission is sought for a North Sea Observatory and Cafe at Chapel Point, Chapel St Leonards] Lincolnshire County Council, 4 December 2013.

Retrieved 7 July 2018</ref><ref name="Lincs.gov"/>

It is the first stage of what is envisaged as part of the Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park (LCCP) with an intention to later develop the coastal walk as a visitor attraction northwards to [[Sandilands, Lincolnshire|Sandilands]]. The site is owned by Chapel St Leonards Parish Council and is leased to the County Council.<ref name="Lincs.gov">[https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/bathing-beauties/north-sea-observatory/ North Sea Observatory] Lincolnshire County Council Retrieved 7 July 2018</ref>

Despite a televised press-launch and announcements of opening 22 June 2018, the centre did not open to the public, with several local journals carrying the same information from a Lincolnshire County Council press release citing further delays due to building snagging works.<ref name="reporter">[https://lincolnshirereporter.co.uk/2018/06/lincolnshires-north-sea-observatory-delayed/ Lincolnshire’s North Sea Observatory opening delayed] ''Lincolnshire Reporter'', 21 June 2018.

==Chapel and church==
The name of the village derives from a chapel at [[Mumby]] dedicated to [[Saint Leonard of Noblac|St Leonard]]; the village history is tied to that of Mumby, both at one time being part of the same [[Ecclesiology|ecclesiastical]] parish.<ref>[[Nikolaus Pevsner|Pevsner, Nikolaus]]; Harris, John; Antram, Nicholas: ((Google books|tQqV7kdX1Y0C|Lincolnshire, Volume 27|page=219))</ref>

The village [[Church of England|Anglican]] church, also dedicated to St Leonard, was rebuilt in 1572 after a flood, and again rebuilt in 1794 on a smaller scale. There was further rebuilding in 1866 and in 1901 when the church was lengthened and the red-tiled tower, unique in Lincolnshire, was added. In 1924 the chapel was again enlarged and lengthened, and a new east window and [[reredos]] added. The present church holds parish registers dating from 1665, although bishops' transcripts go back as far as 1568.

== Twinned Village ==
Chapel St Leonards has been twinned since 1988 with [[Cérans-Foulletourte]], a township in the [[Sarthe]] department in the region of [[Pays de la Loire]], in north-western France.<ref>[https://www.lincolnshireworld.com/retro/recent-nostalgia-celebrating-two-decades-of-twinning-706530 RECENT NOSTALGIA: Celebrating two decades of twinning] Lincolnshire World, 26 April 2018.
