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 54.166.0.0/16 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 10:02, 6 May 2025.

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.

'''Kirby Muxloe''' is a large village and [[Civil parishes in England|civil parish]] that forms part of the [[Blaby District|Blaby]] district of [[Leicestershire]], [[England]]. Located to the west of [[Leicester]], its proximity to the city has resulted in its inclusion in the [[Leicester Urban Area]]. The [[Leicester Forest East]] parish border runs along the Hinckley Road [[A47 road (Great Britain)|A47]]. According to the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 4,523,<ref>Leicestershire County Council. [http://www.leics.gov.uk/kirby_muxloe.pdf Census 2001 Parish Profile] Retrieved on 19 July 2007</ref> which had increased to 4,667 at the 2011 census.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11125281&c=Kirby+Muxloe&d=16&e=62&g=6443873&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1465986059182&enc=1|title=Civil Parish population 2011|access-date=15 June 2016|publisher=Office for National Statistics|work=Neighbourhood Statistics))</ref>

==History==
The name "Kirby" comes from the [[Danish people|Dane]] Caeri who established the community here in the late ninth or early tenth century. The settlement was known as Carbi, and then later Kirby.<ref>About Leicestershire. [http://www.leicestershire.ndirect.co.uk/Kirby.htm Kirby Muxloe Castle] Retrieved on 19 July 2007</ref> The village was recorded in the [[Domesday book]] as 'Carbi'. (Caeri's settlement) with a working population of 8. At the time the land in Kirby Muxloe was owned by Hugh de Grandesmaynel and by [[William Peverel]].<ref name="shire">Leicestershirevillages.com. [http://www.leicestershirevillages.com/kirbymuxloe/abriefhistoryofkirbymuxloe.html Kirby Muxloe] Retrieved on 19 July 2007</ref>
In 1461, [[William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings|William Hastings]], the 1st Baron Hastings of Hungerford, became the Steward of the Honor of Leicester and Ranger of Leicester Forest. His father, Sir Leonard Hastings, had owned a modest estate in Leicestershire and [[Gloucestershire]], where the family had long been established. On 14 April 1474 Hastings acquired the manorial right to Kirby from the Pakeman family, although he had rented it for some years previous to this. In 1480 he began to build the [[moat]]ed [[Kirby Muxloe Castle]] during the period of the [[Wars of the Roses]]. However, work on the castle stopped soon after Lord Hastings was executed on 13 June 1483 on the orders of Richard, Duke of Gloucester (days later to become [[Richard III of England|King Richard III]]) at the [[Tower of London]] for conspiracy. William was caught up in the rivalry for the throne after the death of [[Edward IV of England|Edward IV]].<ref name="shire" /><ref>[[English Heritage]] , and was [http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/ConProperty.63 Kirby Muxloe Castle] Retrieved on 19 July 2007</ref>

In 1582 the name of the village is recorded as Kirby Muckelby, with variants Mullox, Muckle. About 50 years later in 1628 disafforestation of Leicester Forest occurred, effectively dividing the land near Kirby Muxloe into forest and pasture. The results are visible today. In 1636, the Hastings families sold the castle, and estates in Kirby and [[Braunstone Town|Braunstone]], to the Winstanley family. The first official use of Kirby Muxloe was in 1703 in the ''Oxford Dictionary of Placenames'', which states that 'Muxloe' is a family name. There was such a family but they lived three miles away, in the village of [[Desford]].

An early [[Quaker]], John Penford, was a substantial resident of Kirby Muxloe and member of the [[Leicester]] Quarterly Meeting. A business meeting of the [[Society of Friends|Society]] held at his home to consult on works of charity in 1670 was interrupted by informers, with the result that Penford and others were heavily fined.<ref>John Gough, ''A History of the People Called Quakers'' (Robert Jackson, Dublin 1790), II, p. 314. [https://books.google.com/books?id=oRUtAAAAYAAJ&dq=John+Penford+quaker&pg=PA314 read here] For local context see R.H. Evans, 'The Quakers of Leicestershire', Leicester Archaeological and Historical Society XXVIII, pp. 63-83. [https://www.le.ac.uk/lahs/downloads/QuakersPagesfromsmvolumeXXVIII-5.pdf read here]</ref>

The railway came to Kirby Muxloe in 1848 when the [[Midland Railway]] built a [[Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line|line]] through Kirby, and on 1 July 1859 [[Kirby Muxloe railway station]] opened at Kirby fields. (The station closed on 7 September 1964 as part of the [[Beeching cuts]]). In 1882, the fields known as Far and Near Townsend Close were bought by Kirby Muxloe Land Society. Barwell Road, Castle Road, and Church Road were laid out for the village and building went on over the next 30 years.

In 1911, Kirby Muxloe Castle was handed over to the [[Office of Works]]. It is now in the care of [[English Heritage]]. In 1941, during [[World War II]], the village was heavily bombed. A German bomber returning from an attack on [[Coventry]] emptied its load on two streets, destroying the Free Church and several houses. Gaps left in the houses can still be seen.

The village has a primary school which is rated as one of the top schools in the county. There is a chemist, bakery, supermarket, two pubs, a popular sports and social club and a golf club.

Many people who lived there during the late 20th century were born in either a small maternity home in Station Road, near Barwell Road or Roundhill Maternity Home (NHS) in Hastings Road, Kirby Fields.  Both are now private residences, as they were before they became Maternity Homes.  What was the nurses' home at the entrance to Roundhill is now also a private residence.
