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.

'''Staverton''' is a village and [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] in the south-west of [[Northamptonshire]], England.<ref>OS Explorer Map 222 Rugby & Daventry, Southam & Lutterworth ((ISBN|978-0-319-23734-2))</ref> It is 2.3 miles west of [[Daventry]], 7.9 miles east of [[Southam]] and 15.3 miles east of [[Leamington Spa]]. It straddles the [[A425 road]] from Daventry to Leamington. The [[Jurassic Way]] [http://maps.northamptonshire.gov.uk/#x=454128,y=261464,zoom=4,base=NCC,layers=,search=,fade=false,mX=0,mY=NaN] long-distance footpath between [[Banbury]] and [[Stamford, Lincolnshire|Stamford]] passes through the village.

The village sits on the edge of an escarpment and has views westward across the valley of the [[River Leam]] into the neighbouring county of [[Warwickshire]]. Both the [[Malvern Hills|Malvern]] and [[Shropshire]] hills are visible on fine days.

==History==
The village's name means 'Stake farm/settlement', either set apart by such or where they were made or acquired.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Northamptonshire/Staverton|title = Key to English Place-names))</ref>

In the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086, Staverton is mentioned as ''Stavertone''.<ref>The Domesday Book, Englands Heritage, Then and Now, Editor: Thomas Hinde, Northamptonshire page 203 ((ISBN|1-85833-440-3))</ref>

Before the early part of the 18th century, the original village was located behind the church. However, in 1720 a fire broke out which caused damage, destroying many [[hay]]stacks, [[stables]], grain stores and 22 houses. The total loss was thought to be around £3,000. The result of this was that the village received, via a bequest from Elizabeth Darby, a [[fire engine]]. This came into commission in 1767, was kept in the village until quite recently and was later housed at the Daventry museum. A plaque can be seen on a door opposite the village green to this effect.
[[File:Staverton village 22,04,2007 (3).JPG|thumb|left|The village green]]
The village has a [[manor house]], situated at the end of Manor Road and thought to have parts originating possibly from [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] times. It is only one of many examples of vernacular architecture in the village. There is an interesting window detail at ''The Stables'' in Manor Road. A datestone above the window reads R.R. 1684.

Within the village, Well Lane runs parallel to the main [[A425 road|A425]]. It has been conjectured that this was a much earlier approach to the village. The deeply banked sides to the lane bear testimony to it being an ancient right of way. Possibly, with the increase in coaching traffic from the west, the present A425 route was chosen in preference.

Along the western boundary of the parish runs the now-disused railway, the last mainline railway to be built in Britain. It was constructed by the [[Great Central Railway]] Company between 1894 and 1899 and ran from [[Nottingham Victoria railway station|Nottingham Victoria]] to [[Marylebone railway station|London Marylebone]]. A mission was established for the [[navvies]]<ref>[http://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/stories/pages.php?enum=LE123&pnum=5&maxp=8 Navvies in Staverton]</ref> in the village in a barn situated on the corner of Manor Road and Glebe Lane. This is now part of a private residence.

==Geography==
The average elevation of the parish is 700&nbsp;ft above sea level, and approximately 1.5 miles south of the village is [[Arbury Hill]], which, at 225&nbsp;m (738&nbsp;ft), is the highest point in Northamptonshire. On the summit, evidence of an [[Iron Age]] hill fort of an unusually square shape is plainly seen.<ref>An Inventory of Archaeological Sites in North West Northamptonshire,Staverton (BCS 792). ((ISBN|0-11-700900-8))</ref> The [[River Nene]] rises nearby. The [[Jurassic Way]] and the Three Rivers Circular Walk pass through the parish.

==Demography==
Staverton parish had a population of 468 at the [[United Kingdom Census 2001|2001 census]],<ref>[http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=797218&c=staverton&d=16&e=15&g=472308&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1258819194926&enc=1&dsFamilyId=779 Office for National Statistics: Staverton CP: Parish headcounts]. Retrieved 21 November 2009</ref> reducing slightly to 458 at the 2011 Census.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11129035&c=Staverton&d=16&e=62&g=6450887&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1468146291000&enc=1|title=Civil Parish population 2011|accessdate=10 July 2016|publisher=Office for National Statistics|work=Neighbourhood Statistics))</ref>

==Landmarks==
[[File:Staverton Parish Church 22,04,2007.JPG|thumb|left|Staverton Church]] St Mary the Virgin has been a site of Christian worship for well over a thousand years, although the first recorded vicar appears in records started in 1220. A board inside the church lists all subsequent vicars up to the present incumbent. The present church dates from about 1300 with some older parts.<ref>The Buildings of England, Northamptonshire, by Nikolaus Pevsner, 2nd Edition revised by Bridget Cherry, Whilton entry. ((ISBN|0-14-071022-1))</ref> For hundreds of years before this, possibly dating back to before 800 AD, a burial ground existed on the site - as evidenced by the raised churchyard. The main structure that can be seen today dates mainly from the 14th century, although traces of older architecture still remain, such as the [[lancet window]] in the north-west corner, which is from the [[Norman architecture|Norman]] period.

The church has many original architectural and historic features. From the top of the tower, sitting on top of one of the highest points in Northamptonshire, it is said that if one were able to travel eastwards maintaining the same altitude, one would not touch land again until reaching the [[Urals]]. The ‘new’ north porch, used as the main entrance into the church, dates back 600 years, whereas the south porch is 100 years older. The original door and roof timbers remain. The church has a peal of six bells cast in 1938 by [[Taylors Eayre & Smith Ltd|John Taylor & Co]] of Loughborough. The vicar from 1933 to 1946, Rev. E.S. Powell, initiated the bell restoration; he and his wife were active bellringers.

==Transport==
There is a bus service 65 between [[Royal Leamington Spa|Leamington]]-[[Southam]]-[[Banbury]], operated by [[Stagecoach in Warwickshire]] from Monday to Saturday. The closest railway is the [[West Midlands Trains]] service from [[Long Buckby railway station|Long Buckby station]] on the [[Northampton loop]] of the [[West Coast Main Line]]. Nearby [[Northampton railway station|Northampton]] and [[Rugby railway station|Rugby]] stations are served by [[Avanti West Coast]]  services, while [[Chiltern Railways]]. [[CrossCountry]] and West Midlands Trains trains can be joined at [[Leamington Spa railway station|Leamington Spa]] or [[Banbury railway station|Banbury]].

==Amenities==
There is one [[public house]], ''The Countryman'', formerly known as the ''New Inn''. Former Staverton pubs included ''The Windmill'' in Windmill Lane and ''The Crown'', now a private house, opposite The Green. Across the road from the pub, there is a garage. There is a garden centre on the Badby Road out of the village. East of the village on the Daventry road is De Vere Staverton Estate, a hotel where the facilities include an indoor leisure complex and an 18-hole [[golf course]] and [[driving range]].

The first mention of a [[post office]] in the village was in 1864, but the post office closed in March 2008.<ref>''Daventry Express'', 28 February 2008</ref>
