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 Kingswood


The Cistercian monastery at Kingswood in Gloucestershire was home to devotion to Our Lady under that local appellation.

My articles about what little appears to be known of the statue at the abbey gate chapel can be found through Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Kingswood

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