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.

The legacy of a family's passion for Victorian art and design, '''Wightwick Manor''' (pronounced "Wittick") is a [[Victorian era|Victorian]] [[manor house]] located on Wightwick Bank, [[Wolverhampton]], [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]], [[England]]. Owned by the [[National Trust]] since 1937, the Manor and its grounds are open to the public. It is one of only a few surviving examples of a house built and furnished under the influence of the [[Aesthetic movement]] and [[Arts and Crafts movement]].<ref name=greeves>((cite book|last=Greeves |first=Lydia |title=History and Landscape: The Guide to National Trust Properties in England, Wales and Northern Ireland |pages=429 |publisher=National Trust Books |year=2005 |isbn=1-905400-13-6))</ref>  The house is in a grand version of the [[half-timbered]] vernacular style, of which the most famous original example is [[Little Moreton Hall]] over 40 miles to the north, in Cheshire (also National Trust).

The house is a notable example of the influence of [[William Morris]], with original Morris [[wallpaper]]s and [[textile|fabric]]s, [[William De Morgan|De Morgan]] tiles, [[Charles Eamer Kempe|Kempe]] glass and [[Pre-Raphaelite]] works of art, including works by [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]], [[Evelyn De Morgan]], [[Edward Burne-Jones]], [[Ford Madox Brown]], [[John Everett Millais]], [[Elizabeth Siddal]] and [[Leonard Shuffrey]].<ref name=greeves/> 

==History==
[[File:Carving Wightwick Manor 1 (3915932445).jpg|thumb|upright|Detail]]
Wightwick was built by Theodore Mander, of the [[Mander family]], who were successful 19th-century industrialists in the area (Mander Brothers), and his wife Flora, daughter of [[Henry Nicholas Paint]], member of Parliament in Canada. It was designed by [[Edward Ould]] of [[Liverpool]] in two phases; the first was completed in 1887 and the house was extended with the Great Parlour wing in 1893.<ref name=greeves/> The elaborate pendant imitation Jacobean plaster ceiling was designed by [[Leonard Shuffrey]].<ref>((cite book|last1=Pevsner|first1=Nikolaus|title=The Buildings of England Staffordshire|date=2002|publisher=Yale Press|isbn=9780140710465|pages=311.))</ref> Notes taken by Theodore Mander at a lecture given in Wolverhampton in 1884 by [[Oscar Wilde]] on the 'House Beautiful' inspired Wightwick's interiors.  Taking inspiration from this lecture, Theodore and his wife Flora decorated its interiors with the designs of William Morris and his Arts and Crafts contemporaries.  However, the Pre-Raphaelite collection was mostly assembled after the house was donated to the National Trust, particularly by Geoffrey Mander and his second wife, Rosalie, who was an art historian.

In 1937 [[Geoffrey Mander]], a radical Liberal MP and local paint manufacturer who had been left the timber-framed house by his father Theodore, persuaded the National Trust to accept a house that was just 50 years old, under the Country Houses Scheme Act. 

This house of the Aesthetic Movement was, by 1937, a relic of an out of fashion era. Yet, so complete was the design that it was worthy of preservation. Having given the house to the Trust, Geoffrey Mander and his second wife, Rosalie, became its live-in curators, opening the house to the public and adding to its contents. In particular they added a notable collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings by Rossetti, Burne-Jones and their followers.  Descendants of the family retain a private apartment in the manor.

==House, art collection and gardens==
The Manor has the work of 13 professional female artists on permanent public display, more than any other in the National Trust, including notable examples of works by Lizzie Siddal, [[Lucy Madox Brown]], [[Marie Spartali Stillman]], and [[May Morris]]. Most of these artworks were collected by the Manders.  The malthouse gallery now houses a group of works by [[Evelyn De Morgan]] and her husband [[William De Morgan|William]], on loan from the [[De Morgan Foundation]].

The house has 17 acres of woodland and gardens and the outbuildings include parts of an earlier [[Jacobean architecture|Jacobean]] manor house, stables (now a tea room); a gallery in the old malt house; gift shop; and a second-hand [[bookshop]]. 

It is situated just off the main [[A454 road|A454]] [[Wolverhampton]] to [[Bridgnorth]] road, approximately three miles to the west of the city centre.

The manor has been [[Listed building#England and Wales|Grade I listed]] on the [[National Heritage List for England]] since July 1950, and its gardens are Grade II listed on the [[Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England|Register of Historic Parks and Gardens]].<ref name=NHLEHouse>((NHLE|num=1201902|desc=Wightwick Manor|accessdate=1 May 2017|mode=cs2))</ref><ref name=NHLEGarden>((NHLE|num=1001421|desc=Wightwick Manor|accessdate=1 May 2017|mode=cs2))</ref><ref>((NHLE |num=1201902 |accessdate=1 April 2008 |mode=cs2))</ref>
