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 Park in Liskeard


The Pilgrimage now dashed down to Cornwall to a rural shrine that has been rediscovered and attempts made to restore it in recent decades. I wrote an introduction to its history in Our Lady of the Park at Liskeard

Our Lady of the Park Pray for us
