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 34.207.0.0/16 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 05:02, 21 January 2026.

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.

[[File:Viscount Falmouth coa.png|thumb|right|300px|Arms of the Boscawen family, Earls and Viscounts Falmouth: ''Ermine, a rose gules barbed and seeded proper''; crest, per Debrett's Peerage, 1968: ''A falcon close proper''; supporters: ''Two sea lions erect on their tails argent gutte de larmes'']]
'''Viscount Falmouth''' is a title that has been created twice, first in the [[Peerage of England]], and then in the [[Peerage of Great Britain]]. The first creation came in the Peerage of England in 1674 for [[George FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Northumberland|George FitzRoy]], an illegitimate son of [[Charles II of England|King Charles II]] by [[Barbara Villiers]]. He was created Earl of Northumberland at the same time and in 1683 he was made [[Duke of Northumberland]]. However, he left no heirs, so the titles became extinct at his death in 1716.

The second creation came in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1720 for [[Hugh Boscawen, 1st Viscount Falmouth|Hugh Boscawen]] (c.1680-1734). He was made '''Baron Boscawen-Rose''' at the same time, also in the Peerage of Great Britain. Boscawen had earlier represented [[Tregony (UK Parliament constituency)|Tregony]], [[Cornwall (UK Parliament constituency)|Cornwall]], [[Truro (UK Parliament constituency)|Truro]] and [[Penryn (UK Parliament constituency)|Penryn]] in Parliament and notably served as [[Comptroller of the Household]] and Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. His son, the second Viscount, was a General in the Army and also sat as a [[Member of Parliament]] for Truro. He later served as [[Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard]]. His nephew, the third Viscount, held office as [[Captain of the Gentlemen-at-Arms|Captain of the Honourable Band of Gentlemen Pensioners]] from 1797 to 1799. His son, the fourth Viscount, represented Truro in the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]]. In 1821 he was created '''[[Earl of Falmouth]]''', in the County of Cornwall, in the [[Peerage of the United Kingdom]]. He was succeeded by his son, the second Earl. He briefly represented [[West Cornwall (UK Parliament constituency)|Cornwall West]] in the House of Commons.

On his death in 1852 the earldom became extinct while he was succeeded in the other titles by his first cousin, the sixth Viscount. He was the son of Reverend John Evelyn Boscawen, second son of the third Viscount. Lord Falmouth married in 1845 Mary Frances Elizabeth Boscawen, 17th Baroness le Despencer (see the [[Baron le Despencer]]). In 1872 Viscount Falmouth was listed as one of the top ten landowners in Cornwall, with an estate of ((convert|25910|acre|km2)) or 3.41% of the total area of Cornwall.<ref>((cite book |last=Cahill |first=Kevin |author-link=Kevin Cahill (author) |date=2001 |title=Who Owns Britain |publisher=Canongate Books |isbn=9780862419127))</ref> They were both succeeded by their son, the seventh Viscount and eighteenth Baron, who was a [[Major-General]] in the Army. He was allegedly the father of Lady Randolph Churchill's second son, [[John Strange Spencer-Churchill|John]] (1880–1947).<ref>Anne Sebba, ''American Jennie: The Remarkable Life of Lady Randolph Churchill'', Norton, 2008</ref> Since 1889 the ancient barony of Le Despencer has been a subsidiary title of the viscountcy of Falmouth. ((As of|2022)) the titles are held by his great-grandson, the tenth Viscount, who succeeded his 102-year-old father in March of that year.

The [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] politician [[Robert Boscawen]] was the younger brother of the ninth Viscount.

The family seat is [[Tregothnan]], near [[Truro]], [[Cornwall]].
