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 Poulton


Turning inland the Pilgrimage now comes to the site of the shrine of Our Lady of Poulton, close to St Radegund’s Abbey. This, like Our Lady of Pity in the Rock, appears to have been a place of resort for those crossing the Channel.

My previous posts about it can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Poulton

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