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 Pity in the Galilee at Durham


The Pilgrimage now moves to the north-east and to the cathedral at Durham.

My linked posts about the statue of the Pieta which once stood in the western Galilee Chapel of the cathedral can be accessed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Pity in the Galilee at Durham Cathedral

Our Lady of Pity in the Galilee pray for The King and The Queen and for us all.
