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 Aylesford


Moving west across Kent the Pilgrimage now comes to the Carmelite shrine at Aylesford. This medieval foundation was re-established in the twentieth century and has a well known place in the modern world of pilgrimage.

My posts about Aylesford and the veneration of Our Lady there can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Aylesford

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