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 Evesham


The Pilgrimage now reaches the valleys of the Avon and the Severn. The first of these Marian Shrines lay, as did its two neighbours, in a great Benedictine monastic foundation, the abbey at Evesham. 

My notes about this fascinating story can be found through Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Evesham

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