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 on the Red Mount in King’s Lynn


The last-but-one shrine on the Pilgrimage is that of Our Lady on the Red Mount in King’s Lynn. 

My account of this striking chapel can be accessed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady on the Red Mount in King’s Lynn

Opening timrs for the chapel this summer if you are in or near Kings Lynn can be found at Two important heritage monuments open to the public again this summer

The Duchy of Cornwall has ties to King’s Lynn going back to the fourteenth century. They were no doubt one factor in the acquisition of Sandringham as a royal residence for the future King Edward VII in the nineteenth century.

Our Lady on the Red Mount in King’s Lynn pray for The King and The Queen and for us all.
