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 Jesmond


Leaving Durham the Pilgrimage now moves further north to what are now the outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne and the shrine of Our Lady of Jesmond. The ruins of the chapel still attract pilgrims.

My post about it can be accessed at Our Lady of Jesmond

Our Lady of Jesmond Pray for us
