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 3.238.0.0/16 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 05:34, 21 January 2026.

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.

'''Ketton''' is a village and [[Civil parishes in England|civil parish]] in [[Rutland]] in the [[East Midlands]] of England. It is about ((convert|8|mi|0)) east of [[Oakham]] and ((convert|3|mi|0)) west of [[Stamford, Lincolnshire]]. The [[United Kingdom Census 2011|2011 Census]] recorded a parish population of 1,926,<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.rutland.gov.uk/pdf/Rutland%20Civil%20Parish%20Populations%202011.pdf |title=Rutland Civil Parish Populations |accessdate=17 March 2015 |publisher=Rutland County Council |year= 2011))</ref> making it the fourth largest settlement in Rutland, after Oakham, [[Uppingham]] and [[Cottesmore, Rutland|Cottesmore]]. The village has a primary school.

Ketton gave its name to the [[Ketton Rural District]] of Rutland which existed from 1894 to 1974. Ketton ward, which also includes the parishes of [[Barrowden]], [[Tinwell]] and [[Tixover]] has two councillors on [[Rutland County Council]].

==Village==
The village's name origin is dubious. Maybe, 'river of Ceta', with the subsequent component later remodelled as the [[Old English]] 'tun'. Otherwise, this is potentially an old name for the [[River Chater]] or the Old English tribal name, 'Cetan'.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Rutland/Ketton|title = Key to English Place-names))</ref>

It was originally three separate settlements: Ketton, Aldgate and Geeston; but as they grew they merged to form the village that Ketton is today.

The village has a post office and general store, a library, two pubs (the Railway Inn and the Northwick Arms), a sports centre, a playschool and a [[Church of England]] primary school which in 2021/2022 had 185 pupils on its roll.<ref>((cite web |title=Home page |url=https://www.ketton-school.co.uk/ |website=Ketton C of E Primary School |access-date=28 August 2023))</ref><ref>((cite web |title=Ketton Church of England Primary School: Absence and pupil population |url=https://www.find-school-performance-data.service.gov.uk/school/141453/ketton-church-of-england-primary-school/absence-and-pupil-population |website=gov.uk |publisher=Ofsted |access-date=28 August 2023))</ref>  

The village has two churches (Church of England and Methodist). The earliest parts of [[Church of St Mary the Virgin, Ketton|St Mary's Church]], the grade I [[listed building|listed]]<ref>((NHLE|num=1073856  |desc=Church of St Mary |access-date=28 August 2023))</ref> [[Church of England parish church]], are 12th century. The church has a central tower and spire. The west front is an example of late 12th century [[Norman architecture#Transitional style|transitional architecture]] and the remainder of the church is mainly 13th century. The nave was restored under the direction of [[George Gilbert Scott]] in 1861–62 and the chancel under the direction of his pupil [[Thomas Graham Jackson]] in 1863–66. Jackson's chancel roof was painted by [[Ninian Comper]] in 1950. The stone is from [[Barnack]]. There are Ketton headstones in the churchyard; one by the lychgate depicts mason's tools and is by stonemason William Hibbins of Ketton. William Hibbins built Hibbins House, which is still standing today. The spire is 144 feet (44 metres) high.<ref>Flannery, Julian (2016). ''Fifty English Steeples: The Finest Medieval Parish Church Towers and Spires in England''. [[New York City]], New York, United States: [[Thames and Hudson]]. pp.&nbsp;152–159. ((ISBN|978-0-500-34314-2)).</ref> The Methodist chapel was refurbished in 2013 but dates back some 150 years.<ref>((cite web |title=Ketton Methodist Church |url=https://www.stamfordmethodistcircuit.org/ketton-methodist-church |website= |publisher=Stamford Methodist Circuit |access-date=28 August 2023 |language=en))</ref><ref>((cite web |title=Useful Links – Ketton Village |url=https://ketton.org.uk/ketton-village/useful-links/ |access-date=28 August 2023 |quote=... part of village life for over 150 years))</ref>

[[Robert of Ketton]] was the first person to translate the [[Qur'an]] into [[Latin]]. The translation was complete by 1143.

==Ketton stone and cement==
[[File:Ketton Quarry - geograph.org.uk - 379109.jpg|thumb|left|Ketton Quarry]]
The village gives its name to [[Ketton stone]], a [[limestone]] which is quarried locally and is used in many buildings in the village and elsewhere. Some areas of former quarrying, [[Ketton Quarries]], are now a [[SSSI|Site of Special Scientific Interest]], maintained by [[Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust]].

The limestone is used to make [[cement]]. [[Ketton Cement Works]] opened in 1928 and by November that year the number of staff had risen to 250. The plant, owned by [[Hanson Cement]] (now part of [[HeidelbergCement]]), meets more than 10% of the UK demand for cement.

In 2013 Rutland County Council approved [https://web.archive.org/web/20160414132715/http://www.larkenergycommercial.co.uk/case-studies/ketton/ plans] for Lark Energy to build a solar farm on land reclaimed from a 1940s quarry. The solar farm provides 13% of the cement work's annual energy consumption. The second phase was opened in 2015 by Secretary of State for Energy [[Amber Rudd]].<ref>((Cite web|title = Video: Secretary of state for energy opens Ketton solar farm|url = http://www.stamfordmercury.co.uk/news/environment/video-secretary-of-state-for-energy-opens-ketton-solar-farm-1-6847175|website = www.stamfordmercury.co.uk|accessdate = 2015-08-12))</ref>

==Wind energy in Ketton==
In 2004 [[Rutland County Council]] planning committee resolved to approve a planning application for one [[wind turbine]] on land adjacent to the cement works off Steadfold Lane in Ketton. However, issues surrounding fast jets flying from [[RAF Cottesmore]] meant that a planning permission was never granted.

In 2011 REG Windpower announced [http://www.steadfoldlanewindfarm.co.uk plans] to install two wind turbines near Steadfold Lane. The proposal was withdrawn in August 2012.<ref>((cite news |url= http://www.stamfordmercury.co.uk/news/environment/plans-to-build-two-wind-turbines-near-ketton-are-withdrawn-1-4146704 |title=Plans to build two wind turbines near Ketton are withdrawn |newspaper=[[Rutland and Stamford Mercury]] |publisher=[[Johnston Press]] |date=9 August 2012 ))</ref>

==Transport==
Ketton is served by buses on the service between Stamford and [[Uppingham]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.rutland.gov.uk/transport_and_streets/public_transport/local_bus_services.aspx |title= Local Bus Services |accessdate=18 March 2015 |publisher=Rutland County Council |year= 2015))</ref> [[Ketton and Collyweston railway station]] closed in 1966.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.rutland.gov.uk/pdf/Ketton%20-%2020.6.13.pdf |title= Town and Village Appraisals - Update 2013 Ketton |accessdate=17 March 2015 |publisher=Rutland County Council |year= 2013))</ref>
