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 Park in Liskeard


The one Marian shrine included in the Pilgrimage which is in the very far west of the country now appears, that of Our Lady of the Park in Liskeard in Cornwall.

My posts about the shrine can be found at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of the Park in Liskeard

Although I suspect there must have been other medieval Marian shrines in Cornwall this one at Liskeard will have to suffice to represent the Duchy with its long and significant royal associations.

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