How he afforded that stay is a mystery; one theory holds that Jones, who never married and may have been homosexual, was kept by one or another of the powerful exquisites of the Elizabethan court, the Earl of Essex or the Earl of Southampton. But whatever his arrangements, his taste for European travel and study would change the face of English culture. As curator Harris points out, Jones was the first in what would be a long line of English intellectual travelers, bringing lessons back from the Continent...

Ian Fells, who worked with him at the University of Newcastle, calls him a man of "great ideas," and Roger Parsons, head of the chemistry department at Southampton, describes Fleischmann as "excitable in the sense that he gets very enthusiastic about ideas.
