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.

Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Abingdon


The Pilgrimage moves west to the Berkshire river bank of the Thames Valley with a visit to the shrine of Our Lady in the great Benedictine abbey at Abingdon.

My post about it can be read at Our Lady of Abingdon

Our Lady of Abingdon Pray for us
