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 100.26.0.0/16 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 23:56, 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.

'''Huntley''', [[Gloucestershire]], is a village on the [[A40 road|A40]] located seven miles (11&nbsp;km) west of 
[[Gloucester]]. It is in the north of [[the Forest of Dean]].

== History ==
Huntley (meaning Huntsman's clearing) is mentioned in the [[Domesday Book]] as Huntelei.

The village was the scene of fighting during the [[English Civil War]].  In 1643 the [[Cavalier|Royalists]] 
took the [[roundhead|parliamentary]] garrison, but they were betrayed and in 1644 the parliamentarians regained 
control.

The [[roads]] to [[Mitcheldean]] (now the [[A4136 road|A4136]]) and [[Ross-on-Wye]] were turnpiked in 1726 and the [[Toll Road|Toll house]], which  was built c1830 stood at their junction.  This Toll house, that operated where the [[Longhope]] Road joins the 
[[Ross-on-Wye|Ross]] Road, was of sufficient importance to be replaced by a new one in 1881 and the house still 
stands.

[[William Cobbett]] wrote that, during one of his ''Rural Rides'' through England in September 1826, he wanted to 
spend the night in [[Gloucester]], but arrived there at the time of the [[Three Choirs Festival]]. As rooms were 
so expensive, he had to continue to the coaching inn at Huntley.

The [[commons|common]], part of which is now the recreation ground and [[Allotment (gardening)|allotments]], was enclosed in 1857 and in 1872 most of the remaining common land on Huntley Hill was also enclosed.

The village [[stocks]] were originally situated on the main road. They were re-sited on the recreation ground in 
the early 1970s.  They are believed to be the only remaining set in the [[Forest of Dean]].

The village was the home of the Forest of Dean chronicler [[Winifred Foley]] and her husband Sydney until the mid-1970s.<ref>''The Times'' obituary. [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article6073720.ece. Retrieved 19 October 2010.] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200825182755/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/ |date=25 August 2020 ))</ref>

Two miles north-west lie the earthwork remains of '''Taynton Castle''', a ring motte of C11-C12 date.

==Football==

Huntley Football Club competes in North Gloucestershire Premier Division. The Club plays its home games at Huntley Recreation Ground.

== Church ==
The church, dedicated to [[St John the Baptist]], dates from the 11th Century. In the 19th Century a new 
church was effectively built on to the [[Norman architecture|Norman]] tower. It was designed by [[Samuel Sanders Teulon]] and it has been described by a President of the [[Royal Institute of British Architects]] as "one of the most interesting buildings in England". The [[reredos]] displays in detail the story of the [[Last Supper]]. The stonework is finished in local red sandstone and honey coloured Cotswold stone. It has ornate and elaborate decoration of the interior, with paintings of Biblical texts.

== School ==
The local primary school is Huntley Church of England Primary School and is situated next to the church.<ref>((cite web |title=Huntley Church of England Primary School |url=https://huntleyprimaryschool.co.uk/ |publisher=Huntley Church of England Primary School |accessdate=25 August 2020 |archive-date=1 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171001161106/http://huntleyprimaryschool.co.uk/ |url-status=live ))</ref> 

== Economy ==
Over time, the focus of the village has moved from the Church and School, on the slopes of Brights Hill, down towards the Toll House and the pub. Between 1951 and 1980 a large number of new houses and roads were built around the centre.

Many residents commute to [[Gloucester]] to work, but some do work locally. Fruit production has declined in recent years, but much land is still devoted to [[agriculture]], [[horticulture]] and [[woodland]]. There has been a growth in the leisure and recreation sector, such as a [[golf course]], a [[garden centre]] and a School of [[Equitation]]. The golf course and school of equitation had both permanently closed by 2016. The village had its own [[Post Office]] until 2010 when it closed.  The nearest [[Post Office]] is located in Longhope.  There is also a [[pub]], "The Red Lion", a traditional [[butcher|butcher's]] shop and other businesses.

A range of community groups use the [[Village hall]], including the [[football (soccer)|football]] club, which plays in the Northern 
Senior League of Gloucestershire County League of the [[The Football Association|FA]]. The [[cricket]] club, founded 
in 1874, has its own ground to the south of the main road and used to run a [[Beer Festival]] in the summer 
.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.huntleyfestival.co.uk/ |title=Huntley Beer and Music Festival |accessdate=2007-05-02 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070210134616/http://www.huntleyfestival.co.uk/ |archivedate=10 February 2007 |df=dmy-all ))</ref>

== Huntley Quarry ==
Huntley Quarry (to the west of the village at [[grid reference]] SO 7095 1955) exposes a [[Pyroclastic rock|volcaniclastic]] suite of rocks not known anywhere else. Their age is enigmatic; past suggestions have 
included either [[Precambrian]], [[Ordovician]] or [[Llandovery epoch|Early Silurian]]. In addition to their problematic age and 
the perplexing rock type, the strata has been considerably deformed by [[geologic fault|faulting]] and [[tectonic]] movement.

Gloucestershire Geology Trust is currently in the process of buying nearly two acres of land, which includes Huntley Quarry. The quarry and its environs will become the first geology reserve in the county, and the first to be owned by a geology trust. See also [[Geology of Gloucestershire]].
