Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

Our Lady of the Park at Liskeard


The Marian pilgrimage has, on its original itinerary, today moved to the south-west and the shrine of Our Lady of the Park at Liskeard in Cornwall.

As I set out last year this is a shrine whose location was rediscovered in the twentieth century and devotions have at times taken place again at the site. 

My account of it can be read at Our Lady of the Park at Liskeard

Our Lady of the Park Pray for us
