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 Aylesford


Todays Kentish stage of the Marian pilgrimage concludes in the west of the county in the valley of the Medway at the restored Carmelite Priory at Aylesford.

My earlier articles about this now well known centre of devotion can be accessed from Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Aylesford


May Our Lady of Aylesford pray for The King and all the Royal Family and for us all
