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 Furness


The Pilgrimage now crosses the Pennines and the Lake District to the site of the shrine of Our Lady of Furness at the major Cistercian house in that detached portion of the historic county of Lancashire.

My account of the devotion can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage  - Our Lady of Furness

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