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 Allingtree


The next stage of the Marian Pilgrimage takes us to Allingtree on the western edge of the city of Hereford. The modern church lies close to the nineteenth century Benedictine foundation of Belmont Abbey.

My post about the shrine can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Allingtree

Our Lady of Allingtree pray for The King and The Queen and for us all.
