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 44.199.0.0/16 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 12:56, 12 May 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.

'''Monkland''' is a small village in the parish of [[Monkland and Stretford]], in [[Herefordshire]], England, about ((convert|3|mi|0|spell=in)) west of [[Leominster]].

==Origin of the name==
In [[Domesday]] the site is identifiable as Lena and also Leine. Early versions of the name develop into Monklene or "low-lying land of the monks" in the [[Hundred (county division)|Hundred]] of Hezetre, now [[List of hundreds of England|Hazeltree]]. About 1180 the variants Munkelen, Moneclene and Monkeslane are found. Some sources have the erroneous Monkllan which is Anglo-Welsh for "Monk's Church."

==Geography==
The [[River Arrow, Wales|River Arrow]] runs to the east of the village.

==History==
[[Raoul II of Tosny|Raoul/Ralph de Tosni]] was born in 1037, and died in 1102 as Seneschal de [[Château de Conches-en-Ouche|Conches]] in Normandy;  the family also held Tosny, 30 miles from Conches.  Ralph was to have been standard-bearer to William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings but gave the honour to his younger brother Robert.  Different genealogical sources do differ, especially as there were three close relatives named Robert. After the conquest, Ralph gained some 65 manors across England in Norfolk, Worcs, Herefordshire etc.   The tax for the mill at Monkland was 11 shillings and 25 ‘sticks’of eels, each ‘stick’ being 25 eels.  The village was valued at £7.  Before the conquest, Aelmer and Ulfketel held it as two manors; ‘they could go where they would’ – an extra and not frequent piece of Domesday detail.

Monkland, the mill and its 22 residents was transferred by him to the ((ill|Abbey of St Pierre and St Paul de Castillon|fr|Abbaye Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul de Châtillon-lès-Conches)) at Conches. The town of Conches had its name changed from Castillon by his father Raoul ‘The Spaniard’ after his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and his wife's miraculous cure on the journey.

Ralph's wife, Isabel, the daughter of [[Simon I de Montfort]], rode as a knight in north France and lived to the age of 90.  Tracing back to 924, Ralph's descendants remained well in royal favour until only a sister survived in 1309.  Brother Robert, the standard-bearer,  held 131 manors from King William – scattered somewhat as was William's method – and was based at Stafford where he built the castle in 1066 as Castellan. His son became Baron then much later Earl of Stafford.  The Earldom is extinct.

The [[Benedictine]] cell at Monkland was linked with the equally small cell at Wotton Waven cell in Warwickshire. These passed, to and fro by result of war, to the Crown and to Conches more than once.  In 1415, Henry V gave it to Sir Rowland Lenthall who had distinguished himself at Agincourt. After 50 years, it was resumed by the Crown and then the Manor and Priory were granted with tithes to the Dean of the Canons of St George's Chapel, Windsor. They are still vow-patrons of the benefice and relations continue, mostly via the Diocese. In 1831 the Manor was sold to a Mr Preece of Leominster; this solicitor passed it to the Bengough family of Gloucestershire in 1835, who still live in the village. Manor Farm remains, the manor itself does not.

The two parish books ‘from 1730 to 1817’ and ‘1817 to Now’ are a wonderful record of the churchwardens, poorhouse, petty constables and waywardens.  
In 1890, the parish was listed as of 1079 acres – about 1.7 sq. miles with a population of 211 in 48 houses.  The numbers are as yet little changed although there is some growth.  In the most recent state as the Civil Parish of Monkland and Stretford, its major boundary is the River Arrow to north and east.

The village lies off the [[A44 road|A44]] and is the start of the [[Black and White Village Trail]]. It has two notable buildings - one in Monkland and one in Stretford.  [[All Saints' Church, Monkland]] is [[Grade II* listed]] while [[St Cosmas and St Damian's Church, Stretford]]<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-149868-church-of-saints-cosmas-and-damian-monkl |title=Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, Monkland and Stretford |publisher=British Listed Buildings |access-date=29 January 2014))</ref> is [[Grade I listed]].

Monkland is a former [[civil parish]]. In 1961 the parish had a population of 169.<ref>((cite web|url=https://visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10032027/cube/TOT_POP|title=Population statistics Monkland CP/AP through time|publisher=[[A Vision of Britain through Time]]|accessdate=23 August 2023))</ref> On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with [[Stretford, Herefordshire|Stretford]] to form "Monkland & Stretford".<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/leominster.html|title=Leominster Registration District|publisher=UKBMD|accessdate=23 August 2023))</ref>

==All Saints church==
[[File:Lychgate, All Saints, Monkland - geograph.org.uk - 1741906.jpg|thumb|Lychgate]]
The church dates from circa 1100, therefore being of Norman origin.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=All Saints, Monkland : Visit Herefordshire Churches |url=https://www.visitherefordshirechurches.co.uk/all-saints-monkland/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.visitherefordshirechurches.co.uk))</ref> It was built by the monks from the Abbey of Conches in Normandy.  Pevsner writes that the church is of 13th century construction and was thoroughly restored and rebuilt in 1866 by [[G. E. Street]].  Street later worked on the Law Courts as well as York, Salisbury and Carlisle cathedrals. The 1866 work was in part a rebuild rather than the all-too-common demolish-and-newbuild.<ref name=":0" />

A small cell of Benedictine monks was founded at the church by Ralph de Tosni, Seneschal de Conches in Normandy where there was the Abbey of St Pierre and St Paul de Castillon. The monastic buildings were probably on the south side of the churchyard.  This was the site of the old Manor House of which deteriorating outbuildings remain. The large-scale 1880/90 Ordnance Survey maps have some useful extra detail.

Windows from the 12th, 13th and 14th century were moved and reset by Street. The stone is local and with dressings of tufa around the door and most of the windows.  The Nave and font have been dated to about 1100;  the tower, south porch and door, also the large nave windows have been dated to about 1270.

The tower is 13th-century of three stages with a corbelled cornice and a shingled timber broach spire. The second stage has lancets with labels, the first stage a square-headed window in each wall.  The fame of the church derives from it being where Sir [[Henry Williams Baker]] was from 1852 to 1877.  Ut was here that he worked as Chairman of the Committee of Compilers for [[Hymns Ancient and Modern]].

[[File:Monklend - panoramio.jpg|thumb|left|The tower]]
The restoration of the Nave by Street involved demolishing the walls and re-building with the same stones in their former position – so that in effect it is as it was when built in the 13thC.  The first incumbent, Ralph de la Forde is listed from 1289 and his successors on the south wall of the Nave.  The Chancel was the gift of Sir Henry and replaced an older 1830 structure.  Sir Henry also paid for the shingled spire to be added to the tower

The East window glass is the gift in 1865 of the proprietors of ''[[Hymns Ancient and Modern]]'' – Baker's colleagues on the committee – and depicts Our Lord in Glory with angels above and a very happy group of earthly singers in a garden singing from a book; on the two side windows, angels, then saints singing and herdsmen below playing a horn and a recorder.  The glass is by [[John Hardman Powell]] of Birmingham.<ref>https://bpdt.wordpress.com/2019/03/21/monkland-all-saints-and-hymns-am/</ref>

As well as the Organ, much of the church is adorned with gifts from Sir Henry or memorials to him.  The [[reredos]] is a crucifix sculptured in alabaster under a canopy of Purbeck marble; the figures are  the Virgin Mary and ‘the other Mary’ on the north side with St John and St Mary Magdalene on the south while the background is Salviati's mosaic. As with much else, Rev Baker aimed towards the [[Tractarian]] high-church style.

[[File:All Saints, Monkland, chancel - geograph.org.uk - 1741896.jpg|thumb|Chancel and East window]]
The fine Pulpit is the gift of Sir Henry's sister, Jessy.  The figures are the four great Latin Doctors: Saints [[Saint Ambrose|ambrose]], [[Saint Jerome|Jerome]] , [[Saint Augustine of Hippo|Augustine of Hippo]] and [[Saint Gregory the Great|Gregory the Great]].

By the time of Sir Henry Williams Baker's death in 1877 sales of ''Hymns Ancient and Modern'' had reached some 8 million and the government had even issued copies to every ship in the [[Royal Navy]].  His obituary included "...the beautifully restored church, the excellent choir, the crowded services and the efficient school bear witness to his zeal and devotion.=" and "... His true memorial will be found in the work''' Hymns Ancient and Modern''."
