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.

The '''Worshipful Company of Skinners''' (known as '''The Skinners' Company''') is one of the [[Livery company|Livery Companies]] of the [[City of London]]. It was originally an association of those engaged in the [[Skinner (profession)|trade of skins and furs]]. It was granted Royal Charter in 1327.<ref>((cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1002031|title=Skinners' Hall|access-date=24 October 2015))</ref>

The Company's motto is ''To God Only Be All Glory''.

==History==
[[File:Souvenir of the British Exhibit in the Hall of Nations IPA Leipzig, May-September, 1930 (06b).jpg|thumb|Inside Skinners' Hall (after 1900)]]

Under an order issued by the [[Lord Mayor of the City of London]] on 10 April 1484 (known as the Billesdon Award), the Company ranks in sixth or seventh place (making it one of the "Great Twelve City Livery Companies") in the order of precedence of City Livery Companies, alternating annually with the [[Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors|Merchant Taylors' Company]]; these livery companies have borrowed Chaucer's phrase "[[At sixes and sevens]]" to describe their rivalry over precedence – specifically which company was entitled to be 6th in order of seniority – being a source of trouble between the Skinners and the Merchant Taylors for some time in the 15th, and perhaps even 14th centuries. Both companies received their first royal charters in 1327, but the dispute erupted into lethal violence in 1484 during the Lord Mayor's river procession, an occasion which the two guilds treated as their own private boat race.  After the administration of justice to some of the offenders the then-Lord Mayor, Haberdasher Sir Robert Billesdon, mediated between the two companies at the request of their Masters, and he resolved that each company should have precedence over the other in alternate years and that each company's Master and Wardens should be invited to dine at the other's Hall every year.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.skinnershall.co.uk/history/merchant-taylors-dispute.htm|title = Home))</ref>

[[File:Almshouses of Skinners Company, Mile End, 1892 by Philip Norman.jpg|thumb|Almshouses of Skinners Company, Mile End, 1892 by [[Philip Norman (artist)|Philip Norman]]]]
The Skinners are normally sixth in the order of precedence in even numbered years, and at seven in odd numbered years, but as the [[Lord Mayor of the City of London|Lord Mayor]] for 2005/6 was a member of the Merchant Taylors' company they kept precedence.  Merchant Taylors' kept precedence in 2006/7, their regular turn.

==Education==
In the present day the Company is an educational and charitable institution, supporting the following schools:
*[[Tonbridge School]] and [[The Judd School]] in [[Tonbridge]] 
*[[The Skinners' School]] Skinners Kent Primary School and [[The Skinners' Kent Academy]] in [[Royal Tunbridge Wells]]
