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.

'''Well''' is a small village and [[civil parish]] in [[North Yorkshire]], England. It is about 4 miles south of [[Bedale]], near [[Snape, North Yorkshire|Snape]]. Well is situated at the edge of a [[limestone]] [[escarpment]] that overlooks the [[Vale of Mowbray]].<ref>((Cite web |title=The History of Well |url=https://wellvillage.weebly.com/the-history-of-well.html |access-date=18 February 2023 |website=WELL VILLAGE ))</ref> The population recorded by the [[2011 Census for England and Wales|2011 Census]] was 230.<ref name="2011 census">((NOMIS2011|id=1170216955|title=Well Parish |accessdate=4 July 2018))</ref>

==History==
The 'well' of Well is a spring which, along with several other springs, feeds the beck running through the village. The well lends its name to the village, described as ''Wella'' in the [[Domesday Book]].<ref>((cite web |title=Well ((!)) Domesday Book |url=https://opendomesday.org/place/SE2682/well/ |website=opendomesday.org |access-date=14 December 2020))</ref> The name ''Wella'' is [[Old English]], literally meaning ''well'' or ''stream''.<ref>((cite book |last1=Ekwall |first1=Eilert |title=The concise Oxford dictionary of English place-names |date=1960 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford |isbn=0-19-869103-3 |page=504 |edition=4))</ref> The village used to be in the [[wapentake]] of [[Hang East]].<ref>((cite web |title=Genuki: Well, Yorkshire (North Riding) |url=https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/NRY/Well |website=www.genuki.org.uk |access-date=14 December 2020))</ref>

The village has an old school with a schoolhouse. The Old School, originally the [[workhouse]] school, was founded in 1605 by Thomas Earl of Exeter and his wife Dorothy, daughter of John Neville.<ref>((Cite web |title=The History of Well |url=https://wellvillage.weebly.com/the-history-of-well.html |access-date=18 February 2023 |website=WELL VILLAGE ))</ref>  The school was endowed with £30 a year for the maintenance of a master and mistress and 12 poor girls from Well and Snape. In 1788, it was converted into two single sex free schools, which each house in the village could send a boy and a girl between the ages of 6 and 13, with the option to pay for additional places.  The school was rebuilt in 1867 and in 1890 had space for 80 pupils.<ref>((NHLE |desc=OLD SCHOOL HOUSE, Well |num=1393103 |accessdate=18 February 2023 ))</ref> 

Built in 1722, the Old School House is [[Grade II listed]] principally owing to its 18th century roof structure, [[inglenook]] fireplace, and having been built by the same charitable trust. Today, they are both owned by "The Neville Trust", a charity named after an influential family from the [[Tudor period]]. In addition, there is a small playing field with two swings and a small football pitch. As these facilities are rarely used by the children in the village,((citation needed|date=November 2017)) the trust is now planning to sell all assets.((citation needed|date=November 2017))

The village still has four [[Almshouse|almshouses]] called "St Michael's Cottages" with their own [[chapel]].<ref>((cite web |title=Saint Michaels Hospital Almshouses, Well, North Yorkshire ((!)) Educational Images |publisher= Historic England |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/services-skills/education/educational-images/saint-michaels-hospital-almshouses-well-7188  |accessdate=14 December 2020))</ref> There is a family-run pub called The Milbank Arms, which serves food and drinks.<ref>((cite news |last1=Warne |first1=Malcolm |title=Eating Out: Funerals, wakes, black pudding and the Milbank Arms |url=https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/opinion/latest/17486654.eating-milbank-arms-near-bedale/ |access-date=14 December 2020 |work=The Northern Echo |date=10 March 2019))</ref>

There is a [[Methodist chapel|Methodist Chapel]], which holds regular services, and a village institute, which is used for children's parties, coffee mornings and other events. Every August, the village hosts a [[scarecrow]] trail in which many of the houses in the village create a scarecrow and give it a name; each house then has a number, and members of the community have to work out which name belongs to which scarecrow. The winner receives a cash prize. The competition usually runs from mid-August to early September.<ref>((cite web |title=Well Scarecrow Trail ((!)) Well Village |url=http://www.wellvillage.org.uk/scarecrow-trail/ |website=wellvillage.org.uk |access-date=14 December 2020))</ref>

The village also has a number of walks, with views across the area; on a clear day, [[Roseberry Topping]] is visible.

==The church==
The Church of St Michael the Archangel is a [[Grade I listed]], 12th century structure.<ref name="NHLE 1315190">((NHLE|desc=Church of St Michael|num=1315190|grade=I|accessdate=14 December 2020))</ref> A place of worship was noted in the [[Domesday Book]], but the present structure dates from the 12th and 14th centuries, being built by Sir Ralph Neville.<ref>((cite web |title=Genuki: St. Michael's Church, Well, Yorkshire (North Riding) |url=https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/NRY/Well/PhotoFrames/WellStMichael_1 |website=www.genuki.org.uk |access-date=14 December 2020))</ref> The church contains a portion of [[Roman mosaic]] found in 1859.<ref name="NHLE 1315190"/>
