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 Windsor

 
Canon Stevenson’s virtual Marian pilgrimage now returns to the Thames valley and to St George’s Chapel at Windsor. I wrote about this centre of Marian piety and its other important relics of St George, the Cros Gneth and Bl. John Shorne last year in Our Lady of Windsor

Our Lady of Windsor Pray for us
