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 Sudbury


The Pilgrimage now moves south to the southern boundary of Suffolk and visits another parochial shrine, that of Our Lady of Sudbury. The history of the devotion and its twentieth century revival with appropriate links can be found at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Sudbury

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