This trip covered much
more ground "than usual", and there was not time to do
publishing justice to the many places visited. When we
have a moment we will list all the places, meantime the
Paradoxplace Worklog will
show the new pages being published there in 2012.

Bellatrovata is the original "on
the road" site for Adrian (aka Adriano and Dom Paradox) Fletcher's
European explorations. Material relating to explorations in
Italy (including Tuscany, Rome and Venice), Spain, France and
Britain between 2004 and 2006 (first half) has been transferred to Adrian's
main web site -
Paradoxplace
- and now Bellatrovata
contains photos and stories from the extensive Autumn 2009 & 2011 road trips in
England. The website
Ciao
Adriano has illustrated accounts of travels in
France, Italy and England over 6 months in 2007, and
Domparadox
has stunning highlight photos from Italy in the second half of 2006,
including Rome, Piemonte, Tuscany and Puglia.

Scarborough - Home
to John & Maria Fletcher, and Joseph & Elizabeth Procter
The old
parish church of St Mary was twice as long, until civil war
royalist artillery in the castle knocked over the east end
in retaliation for the destruction of their keep by guns of
O Cromwell's artillery, firing from the church (which they
had forcibly occupied). What remains of the church's
original east wall can be seen to the right of the church.
The two towers at the west end of the church were not
rebuilt. Today's church is not only a beautiful sight
from the outside, inside it has a sense of proportionality
and beautiful simplicity.
