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 Winfarthing


The Pilgrimage now reaches its concluding days, returning to Norfolk and on the way to Walsingham. The first shrine on this section is another rural one, that of Our Lady of Winfarthing. 

I posted about the shrine in Our Lady of Winfarthing. In addition to the link in those notes about the Anglo-Saxon finds at Winfarthing Wikipedia now has a very similar but relevant article at Winfarthing pendant

Our Lady of Winfarthing Pray for us
