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 the Oak at St Martin’s Norwich


The Pilgrimage now goes into the diocesan cathedral city and county town of Norfolk to a parish shrine on its northern edge.

My account of the devotional image of Our Lady of the Oak at St Martin’s parish church can be found at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of the Oak at St Martin’s in Norwich

Our Lady of the Oak at St Martin’s pray for Thr King and The Queen and for us all.
