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.

'''Rustington''' is a village and [[civil parish]] in the [[Arun District]] of [[West Sussex]]. Rustington is approximately at the midpoint of the West Sussex coast and midway between [[Chichester]] and [[Brighton]]. The [[A259 road|A259]] runs along the north of Rustington, westward to Littlehampton, [[Bognor Regis]] and Chichester, and east to [[Worthing]] and Brighton. The area forms part of the [[Brighton and Hove built-up area]].

==History==
Rustington was in [[World War I]] home to a planned American aerodrome, to the east of the High Street. Intended to launch bombing raids against Germany, the airfield was incomplete when the war ended.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.littlehamptongazette.co.uk/news/discover-the-secrets-of-rustington-s-home-front-efforts-1-6682194|title=Discover the secrets of Rustington's home front efforts|website=www.littlehamptongazette.co.uk|language=en|access-date=2019-10-31|archive-date=31 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191031145242/https://www.littlehamptongazette.co.uk/news/discover-the-secrets-of-rustington-s-home-front-efforts-1-6682194|url-status=live))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.airfieldresearchgroup.org.uk/forum/general-discussion/7517-littlehampton|title=Littlehampton|date=1 November 2014|website=www.airfieldresearchgroup.org.uk|language=en-gb|access-date=2019-10-31|archive-date=31 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191031145244/https://www.airfieldresearchgroup.org.uk/forum/general-discussion/7517-littlehampton|url-status=live))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://millfield-overstrand.co.uk/rustington.html|title=Millfield|website=millfield-overstrand.co.uk|access-date=2019-10-31|archive-date=11 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190911122654/http://www.millfield-overstrand.co.uk/rustington.html|url-status=live))</ref>[http://www2.westsussex.gov.uk/learning-resources/LR/american_aerodrome_in_rustingtonc49b.pdf?docid=b23ded2c-be8b-4dca-a397-9fd7bae0641e&version=-1]

==Conservation area and information centre==
Rustington contains a conservation area which extends from the south end of North Lane to ''The Lamb'' in The Street. Here, where trees are protected, are the largest number of pre-1850 [[listed building]]s in the [[post town]], with The Street and surrounding roads containing some of the finest 17th and 18th century Sussex flint cottages in West Sussex, some of which are [[Thatching|thatched]].

There is a village information centre at the Broadmark Lane car park, housed in the recently renovated WRVS building in the Waitrose car park.  It also houses Rustington Museum, exploring the village's history from the Stone Age to the modern day with artefacts from throughout time.

Rustington adjoins the [[English Channel]], and is up to ((convert|7|m|ft)) above [[Ordnance Datum]].  It has three main recreation grounds and neither woodland nor fields.<ref>[http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadAreaSearch.do?a=7&r=1&i=1001&m=0&s=1400094468319&enc=1&areaSearchText=Rustington&areaSearchType=16&extendedList=true&searchAreas= Outline civil parish map] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304063713/http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadAreaSearch.do?a=7&r=1&i=1001&m=0&s=1400094468319&enc=1&areaSearchText=Rustington&areaSearchType=16&extendedList=true&searchAreas= |date=4 March 2016 )) Neighbourhood Statistics.

==In music, literature and the media==
"Rustington" is a well-known hymn tune by [[Hubert Parry]], who lived and died in Rustington.

Rustington achieved national fame in 1956 with the launch of [[Flanders and Swann]]'s show ''[[At the Drop of a Hat]]'', in which "[[The Gnu|The Gnu Song]]" contains the lines:

((poem quote|text=
I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington-on-Sea
Whence I travelled on to [[Ashton-Under-Lyne]]...
))

Rustington shares [[Angmering railway station]] with Angmering and East Preston. Trains from this station go to Brighton and Portsmouth/Southampton, as well as regular services to London.

Bus services to Brighton and Portsmouth are provided by the [[Coastliner 700]] with many stops within the village itself.

==In the news==
===Hot cross bun===
*Paul Pegrum, of Pegrum's bakery (now Forfar's), created the world's biggest [[hot cross bun]] to publicise Rustington at Easter 2002. After four hours of cooking, the bun surpassed two out of the three existing records. A weights and measures inspector from [[Brighton]] and Hove Council found the bun had smashed the current weight record of ((cvt|38|kg|lb)), weighing in at ((cvt|42.8|kg|lb|1)). It is also the widest, with a diameter of ((cvt|4|ft|4|in|cm)).<ref>((Cite web |url=https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/5134307.is-this-the-worlds-biggest-bun/ |title=Is this the world's biggest bun? &#124; the Argus |access-date=12 January 2021 |archive-date=23 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210123001232/https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/5134307.is-this-the-worlds-biggest-bun/ |url-status=live ))</ref>
