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 54.161.0.0/16 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 10:07, 1 October 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.

To the north the parish is bounded with the parish of [[Ashby St Ledgers]]. To the east the boundary is marked with the route of the [[A5 road|A5]] [[Watling Street]], the name given to an [[ancient trackway]] in England and [[Wales]] that was first used by the [[Celts]], and later improved and paved by the [[Roman Empire|Romans]]. To the east of this highway is the parish of [[Long Buckby]]. To the south lies the parishes of [[Daventry]] and [[Norton, Northamptonshire|Norton]], whilst to the west is the parish of [[Braunston]]. The southern boundary is also marked by the course of the [[Grand Union Canal]] which also dissects the eastern boundary for a short looping distance.

===Welton Place===
[[File:Welton Place.jpg|thumb|180px|right|An 18th century etching of Welton Place]]
Welton place<ref>The Buildings of England:Northamptonshire, By Nikolaus Pevsner, Revised by Bridget Cherry: Published by Penguin, Welton, Page 457:((ISBN|0-14-071022-1))</ref> was a large country house which once stood in the village which was demolished in 1972. It was built by Joseph Clarke<ref>''A History of the County of Northampton'' Volume 3.</ref> in 1758. The Clarke family had been associated with the parish of Welton since around 1596. Joseph Clarke had been [[High Sheriff of Northamptonshire]]. Welton Place was known to the locals as 'The Big House' and it had been in the possession of the Clarke family for a further century after its completion. The house was situated by a lake around which were planted rare Cedar trees some of which are protected and can still be seen as can the lake. When Joseph Clarke died he left the house to his brother Richard Clarke<ref name="srok1">A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland Enjoying Territorial Possessions Or High Official Rank: But Uninvested with Heritable Honours: By John Burke: Published by Colburn, 1838. ASIN B00088XV8C</ref> of [[Nortoft]], a [[hamlet (place)|hamlet]] close to the village of [[Guilsborough]]. When Richard Clarke died 1774<ref name="srok1"/> he left the house to his wife. Richard Clark's great nephew John Plomer<ref name="srok1"/> inherited the Clarke estates and added the surname to his own in 1774<ref name="srok1"/> but it seems did not own Welton Place until he purchased from Richard Clark's widow in 1804. In 1806 John Plomer Clark as he now was, married in 1806 the daughter of Sir John Nelthorp,<ref name="srok1"/> a Miss Anne Marie Charlotte Nelthorp.<ref name="srok1"/> In 1813 Plomer Clark<ref name="srok1"/> raised the Daventry Volunteers and was High Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1814. He also commanded the West Northants Militia. John Plomer Clark died on 23 March 1826<ref name="srok1"/> without issue and so the house was left to his Brother. The last Clark to inherit the house was called Richard.<ref name="srok1"/> Eventually the house was rented to [[Garrard & Co|Major Harry Sebastian Garrard]]<ref>Official Garrard website [http://www.garrard.com/]. Retrieved 6 April 2009.</ref> who was the Crown Jeweller, who was world-renowned for important jewellery works. His work includes a small diamond crown created in 1870 [[Queen Victoria]], which she often dressed in and is one of her most enduring images. Other notable works of Garrard include [[Mary of Teck|Queen Mary's]] Crown for [[George V of the United Kingdom|King George V]]'s Coronation and the Imperial Crown of India worn by King George V worn by him at the [[Delhi Durbar]] later the same year. In 1937 Garrard remounted the Imperial State Crown, and made further adjustments for HM [[Elizabeth II|The Queen]] for the Coronation in 1953. Local folklore says that royalty may have visited Welton Place but no evidence has been uncovered to substantiate this claim.

Welton Place was converted to flats but ultimately demolished in 1972.
