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.

More about the gold leopard found in Norfolk


The Internet has yielded another article about the gold leopard found in Norfolk about which I wrote the other day.

The illustrated article from North Norfolk News also highlights other significant discoveries by metal detectors in the county in recent years. They are, in part, a witness to the wealth and prosperity of medieval East Anglia. The article can be read at Rare gold coin could change Norfolk metal detectorist's life
