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 of Lady of Howden, of Stamford and of Flawford


Two years ago I added the three surviving medieval statues of Our Lady at Howden Minster, St Mary’s Stamford and from the demolished church at Flawford near Nottingham to the Pilgrimage itinerary in a combined post. This can be accessed from Marian Pilgrimage - Three Medieval Statues of Our Lady

Our Lady of Howden, of Stamford and of Flawford pray for The King and The Queen and  for us all.
