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.

Prayers at the Foot of the Altar and the Last Gospel


Peter Kwasniewski has an interesting article on the New Liturgical Movement site about the codification of the custom of saying the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar and the Last Gospel in the 1570 Missal.
