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.

'''Stoke College''' in [[Stoke-by-Clare]], near [[Haverhill, Suffolk]], England, is a [[co-educational]] [[day school]] for children aged 11 to 18, with boarding for children aged 11 to 18. It is built on the site of a major medieval monastic college.

== History of the site ==
The college traces its name back to 1415, when a college for priests was founded on the site. The medieval College had been founded on the earlier site of a Benedictine priory, originally located in Clare Castle, but moved to [[Stoke-by-Clare]] in 1124. Under the patronage of the powerful de Clare family, it was one of the wealthiest monastic houses in Norman England, until a disastrous fire in the 1390s. The college annexed [[Chipley Priory]] in about 1468.<ref name="pagew">Page.W (1975) 'Houses of Austin canons: Priory of Chipley', ''A History of the County of Suffolk: Volume 2'', p. 99 ([http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=37898 available online]). Retrieved 2011-05-03.</ref><ref name="engh">((PastScape|mnumber=379224 |mname=Chipley Priory |accessdate= 2011-05-03))</ref>

In 1534 Dr Walter Haddon, writing in a letter from Cambridge, says of the college "how that place seemed in a manner to be made on purpose for scholars, both to learn themselves, and to teach others: and that its situation was such that above all others it is best suited for honest and ingenious pleasures." The last Dean was [[Matthew Parker]], future Archbishop of Canterbury under Elizabeth I, and a founder of the Church of England.

The buildings had been abandoned after the [[Dissolution of the monasteries]] in the 1540s; the site was bought by the Elwes family around 1660, who created the surviving main house and stables. The Elweses did not always keep the premises in fine style – one member of the family, [[John Elwes (politician)|John Elwes]] was so mean that he served as Dickens's model for [[Ebenezer Scrooge]] in ''A Christmas Carol''.

In 1897 the estate was bought by [[Henry Loch, 1st Baron Loch]], a Victorian army officer and colonial administrator. He brought in his wife's nephew, the noted architect [[Edwin Lutyens]], to add a wing in his distinctive [[Arts and Crafts]] style, as well as gardens in the style of his friend and co-designer [[Gertrude Jekyll]]. The Lochs struggled to keep up the estate during and after World War Two; in 1950 they abandoned the house.

In 1954 it became a small independent school, reviving the historic name "Stoke College" a few years later. It now serves around 200 pupils.

In 1961 the house became a Grade II* [[listed building]].<ref name="EH">((NHLE |num=1265211 |desc=Stoke College |accessdate=28 November 2013 ))</ref>

== Recent history ==
'Grenville' was the name chosen for the small school which was founded in Clare a little over 50 years ago. It existed in the building known as 'The Norfolks' for a while before being acquired by Miss Elliot and Miss McLoad, who had previously been senior lecturers, training teachers at Bingley College in Yorkshire, in 1951. They became joint Principals.

This school was so successful that it quickly grew in size and new premises had to be found. The house recently vacated by the Loch family proved ideal and the school moved in 1954. In 1969, Miss Elliot retired and Martin Gedney became the first Headmaster of Stoke College. This was a time of great change and in 1973 it was decided that the name of the school should be changed to Stoke College.

== Notable alumni ==
* Henry Driver, Artist and Computer Game Developer, 2010
* [[Matt Cardle]], singer and songwriter; winner of "[[The X Factor (British series 7)|The X Factor]]" in 2010
* Dr Matthew Olyver, celebrated contemporary composer.
