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 Rock at Dover


Returning to Kent the Pilgrimage now goes to the historic town of Dover and the chapel of Our Lady of Pity in the Rock there. This appears to have been visited in particular by those crossing the Channel to and from Calais. My notes about it can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Pity in the Rock at Dover

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