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 Doncaster


The next shrine on the Pilgrimage itinerary is that Our Lady of Doncaster. This was very popular in the late middle ages and located in the Carmelite friary in the town centre. It is also one of those which has been revived in modern times.

My posts and associated links from two and three years ago about it can be accessed at Our Lady of Doncaster

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