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 the Four Tapers at St Albans Abbey


The statue of Our Lady of the Four Tapers in St Albans Abbey had an interesting history as it was moved within the monastic church. I posted about this. with various links to online source material in Our Lady of the Four Tapers in St Albans Abbey
