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 Worcester


The cathedral priory in Worcester was the home of a major centre of devotion to Our Lady, under whose co-patronage with Christ, the cathedral is dedicated.

I added this devotional statue to the Pilgrimage route in 2020 and what I wrote about the shrine, and its destruction, can be accessed in Our Lady of Worcester

Our Lady of Worcester Pray for us
