I have started work on the East Stoke page. I have described the new circumstances of the route of the A46. I have almost finished describing the circumstances of the battle to the extent that a visitor to East Stoke who was not a history enthusiast would still appreciate the nature of the events that took place there. I would like to continue with; The role of the Fosse Way. The leper colony in East Stoke at the time of the battle that eventually passed to Elizabeth I. I intend to add some small details with the regard to the importance this section of the Trent in Roman times, and of its developement into a major waterway in the early 18th Century. The importance of the Smith/Bromley/Pauncefote families to the area: from their involvement with the ECW to Banking and to British and American history. I don't know if I should go as far as to mention their involvement with the expedition of Scott to the Antarctic (or indeed that Scott prayed in the Church the night before he commenced his journey in the care of Admiral Pauncefote) or Baron Pauncefote being both the first British Ambassador to America and the man who made the Panama Canal possible. Stoke Hall was used by the Air force in WWII. The whole area held a network of airfields. Ghosts in Stoke Hall and in the Pauncefote Arms.

I will start with the most important items.
