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 in the Wood at Epworth


The route of the pilgrimage now moves up to Lincolnshire and adjacent counties. It begins in the Isle of Axholme in the north-west of the county at the Carthusian monastery there.

My previous articles about this shrine can be found through last year’s account at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady in the Wood near Epworth


May Our Lady in the Wood pray for The King and all the Royal Family and for us all
