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 Thetford


The Pilgrimage now moves to the other side of East Anglia before moving back via Cambridgeshire to southern Suffolk. Today’s shrine is that of Our Lady of Thetford which was in the Cluniac monastery in the town.

My article about it from last year, with links to previous posts, can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Thetford

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