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 Oak at St Martin’s in Norwich


The next stop on the Pilgrimage is in Norwich at what might otherwise appear to be a rural shrine but was in an urban setting. It may have similarities to the originally even more rural shrine at Islington which was visited earlier on in the Pilgrimage. 


Our Lady of the Oak at St Martins Pray for us
