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 54.163.0.0/16 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 17:28, 10 March 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.

'''Mawdesley''' is a village and [[civil parish]] in [[Lancashire]], England, which had a population of 1,702 as per the 2011 Census.<ref>((NOMIS2011|id=E04005156|title=Mawdesley Parish|access-date=26 March 2021))</ref>

==History==
[[File:Mawdesley Hall, Lancashire.jpg|200px|left|thumb|[[Mawdesley Hall]]]]

The name Mawdesley is thought to have originated in the reign of [[Edward I of England|Edward I]] (1272–1308). The suffix -''ley'' describes a field, meadow or clearing. Records show that a [[Manorialism|manor]] existed in 1250 AD on the site of the present Mawdesley Hall.

[[Mawdesley Hall]] is a small hall on a back road leading into the village. It was built by William Mawdesley in 1625, but altered towards the end of the 18th century.<ref>[http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-184416-mawdesley-hall-mawdesley Grade I listed building]</ref>

==Transport==

The village has limited public transport services. Hourly bus services runs through the centre of the village to Chorley, Ormskirk and Southport. The nearest [[railway station]] is three miles away at [[Rufford railway station|Rufford]].

==Religion==
St Peter and St Paul's Catholic Church, at OS grid reference SD508146, Salt Pit Lane, was founded in 1830. The Wesleyan Methodist church on New Street, was founded before 1893 from religious societies founded by [[John Wesley]] and his preachers and was at OS grid reference SD493150. [[St Peter's Church, Mawdesley|St Peter's CE Church]], High Street, Mawdesley with Bispham, was founded in 1839 and is at OS grid reference SD489143.

==Education==
The village has two small primary schools, Mawdesley St Peter's C of E School, and St Peter and Paul's Catholic School. Little Acorns pre-school operates from within Mawdesley St Peter's C of E School and serves Mawdesley and the surrounding villages, providing play-based learning for three to five-year olds.

==Geography==
[[File:Mawdesley Moss Wind Farm - geograph.org.uk - 2943749.jpg|thumb|left|Mawdesley Moss Wind Farm]]

The village sits on a low rise from the surrounding Mawdesley Moss, a flat, intensively-farmed plain. The moss forms the eastern edge of the [[West Lancashire Coastal Plain]] with the neighouring [[Croston|Croston Moss]] and contains a three-turbine 2,250kW wind farm.<ref>((cite web| url=https://www.thewindpower.net/windfarm_en_17130_mawdesley-moss.php| publisher=The Wind Power| access-date=1 October 2023| title=Mawdesley Moss))</ref>

The [[River Douglas, Lancashire|River Douglas]] runs along the western boundary of the moss, flowing north to meet the [[River Ribble]] at [[Hesketh Bank]]. The Syd, Reed and Bentley [[stream|brooks]] and a number of [[sluices]] run through the village into the Douglas, and the moss contains a pumping station.<ref>((cite web| url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6076834 |title=Mawdesley pumping station, east of Rufford| publisher=Geograph| access-date=1 October 2023))</ref> The Rufford branch of the [[Leeds and Liverpool Canal]] runs alongside the river in this area, having superseded the [[Douglas Navigation]] as a trading route in the 18th century.<ref>((cite book| first=Mike| last=Clarke| title=The Leeds and Liverpool Canal| year=1990| publisher=Carnegie Press| isbn=978-0-948789-40-3))</ref>

The nearest hill, Harrock Hill (515&nbsp;ft) belongs to the neighbouring parishes of [[Hilldale, Lancashire|Hilldale]] and [[Wrightington]]. This low, rolling hill is visible in some areas of Mawdesley and, with the wind farm, serves as a landmark from the surrounding flat landscape.

==Sport==

Mawdesley Cricket Club is based in the village. Historically playing in the [[Palace Shield]] competition, the club will play in the [[Northern Premier Cricket League]] in 2024, the [[ECB Premier Leagues|top tier]] of [[club cricket]] in England and Wales.
