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 All Hallows Barking by the Tower


This is a shrine which I have interpolated to the original list compiled by Canon Stevenson. It seems a surprising.omission given both its obvious fame in the medieval period and its current status as a well-known and much visited London church.

From my article, which I posted last year, a detailed account of the medieval church and shrine from the excellent 1929 Survey of London can be accessed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of All Hallows Barking by the Tower

May Our Lady of All Hallows Barking pray for The King and all the Royal Family and for us all
