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 Bolton in Durham Cathedral


Staying in the cathedral at Durham the Pilgrimage now moves to the lost statue of Our Lady of Bolton in one of the side chapels of the  main building.


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