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.

'''Lilleshall''' is a village and [[civil parish]] in the county of [[Shropshire]], England.

It lies between the towns of [[Telford]] and [[Newport, Shropshire|Newport]], on the [[A518 road|A518]], in the [[Telford and Wrekin]] borough and the [[The Wrekin (UK Parliament constituency)|Wrekin]] constituency. There is one school in the centre of the village.

The village dates back to [[Anglo-Saxon]] times, the parish church being founded by [[St Chad]]. It is mentioned in the [[Domesday Book]]. The Norman parish church of St Michael and All Angels is a grade I listed building.<ref>((cite web| url = http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-362263-church-of-st-michael-and-all-angels-lill|title= Church of St Michael and All Angels, Lilleshall, Donnington and Muxton|publisher= British Listed Buildings|accessdate = 28 January 2014))</ref>

==Local governance==
A civil parish was formed on 1 April 2015 from [[Lilleshall, Donnington and Muxton]],<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.lgbce.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/26114/Telford-and-Wrekin-RoCG-Order-No2-2015.pdf|title=The Borough of Telford & Wrekin (Reorganisation of Community Governance) Order No. 2 of 2015|publisher=Lgbce|accessdate=15 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180316084804/https://www.lgbce.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/26114/Telford-and-Wrekin-RoCG-Order-No2-2015.pdf|archive-date=16 March 2018|url-status=dead))</ref> though a previous parish also called "Lilleshall" existed.<ref>((cite web|url=http://visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10357380|title=Lilleshall AP/CP through time|publisher=Vision of Britain|accessdate=15 March 2018))</ref>

==Layout==
There is a monument, a cricket club, a tennis club, a church and a primary school clustered around a bracken-covered hill named Lilleshall Hill.

==Lilleshall Abbey==
[[File:Lilleshall Abbey - geograph.org.uk - 1313407.jpg|thumb|left|Remains of Lilleshall Abbey]]
((main|Lilleshall Abbey))
[[Lilleshall Abbey]], some distance to the east of the village, was an [[Augustinians|Augustinian]] house, founded in the twelfth century, the ruins of which are protected by [[English Heritage]]. After the [[dissolution of the monasteries]] the estate was bought by the [[Wolverhampton]] wool merchant James Leveson. His family held the site for four generations and, after two owners died without issue, it passed into the hands of the related [[Leveson-Gower]] family in the late 17th century.

==Industry==
Lilleshall is surrounded by farmland. The village and surrounds were the site of considerable early industrial development from as early as the 16th century, when [[Walter Leveson (1551-1602)]] established a [[bloomery]]. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries relatively shallow deposits of [[coal]] and [[limestone]] were mined, with resultant subsidence. The history of the mining of limestone is reflected in the naming of a road called 'Limekiln Lane' in Lilleshall. The former limestone mines are tucked away in treeland at the Newport end of the village, locally known as "the Slang", which is effectively several pits now filled with water, popular with local fishermen and unpopular with local parents of young children - the water is deep and the former minepits area quite dark, abandoned and dangerous.((Citation needed|date=November 2008))

At a similar time to the mining of limestone an early example of the English canal network was dug, the [[Donnington Wood Canal]] and its Lilleshall branch which were connected by an [[Canal inclined plane|inclined plane]], reflected in the naming of a road named The Incline in Lilleshall.

==Lilleshall Hall==
((main|Lilleshall Hall))
The Leveson-Gower [[Duke of Sutherland|Dukes of Sutherland]] became one of the richest families in the United Kingdom partly as a result of this industrial development and in the late nineteenth century built a new residence, [[Lilleshall Hall]] which lies at the heart of the estate a mile from the village. The Sutherland estate was sold off between 1915 and 1917 and the hall eventually passed into state ownership as a sporting facility. It is now the [[National Sports Centres|Lilleshall Hall National Sports Centre]],<ref>((cite book|last1=Ayto|first1=John|last2=Crofton|first2=Ian|title=Brewer's Britain & Ireland|date=2005|publisher=Weidenfeld & Nicolson|location=London|isbn=0-304-35385-X|page=663))</ref> once the site of the [[The Football Association|Football Association]] youth academy, and now the home of British gymnastics and archery. Lilleshall Hall Golf Club is also in the grounds of Lilleshall Hall.

== Lilleshall Monument/Sutherland Monument ==
[[File:Inscription on monument 2013-06-23 16-51.jpg|thumbnail|left|Inscription on monument]]
((main|Lilleshall Monument))
The [[Lilleshall Monument]] is a ((convert|70|ft|m|adj=on)) high [[obelisk]], a local landmark which stands on top of Lilleshall Hill and was erected in honour of the [[George Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland|1st Duke of Sutherland]].
