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 Pity in the Rock at Dover


The online Marian pilgrimage today arrives at Dover and a shrine which clearly had a ministry to travellers as a place to pray for a successful Channel crossing and to give thanks for having had one. I posted about this last year in Our Lady of Pity in the Rock at Dover


Our Lady of Pity in the Rock at Dover Pray for us
