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.

'''Cockfield''' is a village on the edge of Teesdale, [[County Durham]], England. It is situated 8 miles to the south-west of [[Bishop Auckland]], ((Convert|15|mi|km|abbr=out)) north-west of [[Darlington]] and ((Convert|40|mi|km|abbr=out)) south-west of [[Newcastle upon Tyne]]. Remains found on Cockfield Fell suggest there was a settlement in the area during the [[Iron Age]]. The parish church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, probably dates from the late 12th century.

Coal mining began in the area in the medieval period. When the South West Durham coalfield was opened in the 19th and 20th centuries the population of the village grew significantly. The last coal mine closed in 1962.

==Notable residents==
One of the more illustrious families to hail from Cockfield was the Martindale family.

•  [[George Dixon (Cockfield Canal)|George Dixon]] (1731–1785) George Dixon was someone who owned coal mines and was a keen inventor, he was probably the first to use [[coal gas]] for [[gas lighting|illumination]].<ref>((Cite web | url=http://archive.thenorthernecho.co.uk/2002/8/7/125478.html | title=From star-gazing to canal digging | work=[[The Northern Echo]] | publisher=[[Newsquest Media Group]] | access-date=2010-03-11))</ref> [[George Dixon (Cockfield Canal)|George Dixon]] died in Cockfield on 29 September 1785 at the age of 53

• [[Jeremiah Dixon]] (1733–1779) the brother of [[George Dixon (Cockfield Canal)|George Dixon]], [[Jeremiah Dixon]] was an astronomer, went to America with [[Charles Mason]] in 1763 to survey the boundaries of Maryland and Pennsylvania thereby creating the '[[Mason–Dixon line]]'.  [[Jeremiah Dixon]] died unmarried in Cockfield on 22 January 1779 at the age of 45

==Local amenities==
((Unreferenced section|date=August 2017))

===Public houses===

===Stores===

===Schools===
The local primary school is Cockfield County Primary School.

===Churches===
The two churches that can be found in Cockfield are the CofE Church of Saint Mary the Virgin and the Cockfield Methodist Church.

===Transport===
Whilst Cockfield once had a railway, this was closed to passengers in 1958, before its complete closure in 1962.<ref>[[Cockfield Fell railway station]]</ref>((Circular reference|date=October 2020))  It is now served by bus services from Arriva North East and Scarlet Band with links to Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Barnard Castle, Durham (number 6) and the retail park at Tindale crescent.

==Cockfield Fell==
Cockfield Fell is described as "one of the most important early industrial landscapes in Britain". In addition to four Iron Age (or Romano-British) settlement enclosures, there is evidence within the landscape of early coal mines (the Bishop of Durham licensed mining here at least as early as 1303), medieval agricultural field patterns, centuries of quarrying activity, a railway line established in the 1830s and several earlier tramways.<ref>Pevsner, Buildings of England: County Durham, Penguin 1983h.</ref> All together, Cockfield Fell constitutes England's largest Scheduled Ancient Monument, described as 'an incomparable association of field monuments relating to the Iron settlement history and industrial evolution of a northern English County'. One reason for its preservation - unusual for a lowland fell - is that it was not subject to [[enclosure]] in the 18th or 19th century, perhaps due to its highly industrialised past.<ref>Guy & Atkinson, ''West Durham: the archaeology of industry'', Phillimore 2008</ref>
